My practice draws its inspiration from the relationship mankind has with the environment and the complete systems that we depend on. Current practice has taken me on an investigation of A Matter of Life and Death; using garden environs as test beds, I am exploring the complex systems and life cycles that occur in nature and that we as a species depend on. This has taken me into experiments with permaculture, sustainability and seed saving.
With a background in landscape design, I am also interested in how mapping and recording our environment contributes to our attitude to the environment around us. I am specifically interested in artists’ gardens as metaphors for environmental issues and the boundaries between art and horticultural worlds, with a view to exploring sensual engagement both in the act of creating and experiencing gardens.
