My work can be perceived as calming and meditative but at the same time be grating and irritating, inducing feelings of anxiety and tension. Within this the work is playful, with an anarchic element of humour, celebrating everyday moments of wonder. I want to invite the viewer to take notice, catch a glimpse, make one aware, reveal that which is unseen or hinted at, to highlight invisible forces, and make concepts tangible.

As a result of COVID- 19 lockdown in the UK, I turned to walk as a means of exercise and routine, but also as a form of escape. During my walks, I have been discovering alternative ways of exploring the environment and subsequently incorporated this into my art practice with a series of interventions which I documented.

I find walking can be very therapeutic, it gives time to contemplate and reflect. The pace of the walk adds a rhythm that is both purposeful and calming.

When I head out for a walk I make a point of taking a tool or medium with me. In my case, this can be a magnet on a string which I use to collect debris or a handheld mirror which I use to highlight and pick out an alternative perspective of the surrounding environment.

Sometimes I will seek out another way of engaging once I am out. This could be by walking through puddles of rainwater, creating mounds of fallen debris from a tree, or making a mark along my way with a chalkstone.

Art can be anything and everything. Outside of the studio, you can find many ways to investigate and express yourself. If you’re not able to go for a walk you can have a variety of experiences by taking an alternative perspective, perhaps in a garden or on the street outside.

For “Sea Painting: a paper’s journey” I took a roll of paper for a walk into the sea and out again onto the shore. Back on the sandy beach, my children walked along the paper and seagulls pecked at it. The performance was filmed and photographed before I later displayed the dried out paper in various configurations in the gallery. Having gone through a journey of cleansing and purifying, of labour and play, the paper has a strength and beauty as sculpture; like skin and the body it proudly displays signs of aging, history and decay in its’ marks and stains.

我的作品可以被认为是平静而沉思的，但同时又是刻板而令人讨厌的，会引起焦虑和紧张感。它充满趣味性，带有幽默的无政府状态，庆祝着每一天的奇妙的时刻。我想邀请观众参与到作品中，揭示那些看不见或暗示的内容，以突出看不见的力量，并使概念切实。由于新冠疫情我被隔离在英国，我把走路变成一种运动和日常活动，也是一种逃生方式。在行走过程中，我一直在寻找探索环境的替代方法，随后通过记录的一系列干预措施将其纳入我的艺术实践。我发现行走可以起到很好的治愈作用，让我有时间去思考和反思，这平静的漫步带来了一个即得益又恬静的节奏。当我出去散步时，我会带些工具或材料。对我来说，这绳子上的磁铁是我用来收集杂物的，我也会手持镜子来突出和寻找另一种参与方式表达周围的环境。这可能是通过在雨水坑中漫步，从树上撒下大量碎屑，或者用粉笔石在我的路上留下痕迹。艺术可以是任何事物。在工作室之外，你可以找到许多素材和表达自我的方法。如果您无法散散步，可以换个角度来看，这可能会带来各种体验，例如在花园或外面的街道上。对于“海洋绘画：纸上的旅程”，我拿一卷纸走进大海，然后再次走到岸上。回到沙滩，我的孩子们沿着纸走着，海鸥啄了一下它。在我后来在画廊展示各种配置的干纸之前，对表演进行了拍摄和拍照。经过了清洁和净化，劳动和娱乐的旅程，纸张具有雕塑般的力量和美感。像皮肤和身体一样，它自豪地显示出衰老，历史和痕迹和污渍的迹象.
