Poetry
Poetry and writing have always been an integral part of my creative practice. My sketchbook is predominantly filled with notes and annotations alongside sketches, drawings and images. I find working with language facilitates and frees the artistic process. Here is a selection of my poems from over the years.
Research Papers
Studying at Dartington College of Arts and the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) had a huge impact on my personal, creative and professional development. These dedicated studies continue to influence my practice to this day. Here is a selection of research papers around art, architecture, Buddhist imagery and practice.
Blogs
Research, field work and travel have shaped my creative practice and greater understanding of the world we live in. I have always enjoyed documenting my travels
through writing, which has allowed me to observe, reflect and share my experiences with others. Explore a selection of these blogs here.
Tending to the land and growing my own vegetables, plants and herbs is a rich experience that not only nourishes me but feeds my creativity. I've come to think of the allotment as an extension of the studio and I explore art as a way to learn from and connect deeper with the earth. Through my art, I aim to offer tools and insights to make the most of green spaces around you too. From planting with the moon to seasonal foraging, these works offer ways to harness the innate power of nature, allowing your relationship with nature to flourish alongside supporting wildlife and the natural environment.
One of the most treasured lessons I've learnt from working with nature has been living in alignment with natural cycles that reoccur in our lives and the world around us; from the lunar phases and menstrual cycle to shifts in nature throughout the seasons. My 'Seasonal Living' series of artworks calls upon anyone who wishes to bear witness to seasonal shifts by inviting ritual, ceremony and conscious habits into your life. These artworks are created to honour intrinsic life cycles and act as daily reminders for us to check-in with ourselves, cycles and the innate rhythms of nature that encircle us.
