Drawing is at the heart of my creative projects. I use drawing to develop and visualise ideas. Mark-making has been a crucial way of working for me; measuring marks, fine drawing and scribbling and scratching through layers of colour, materials and images.

In the last few years, I started to animate my drawings and mark-making, combining them with film. This opened up an exciting world of rhythm, time, speed, structure, forward and reverse. It seemed to me to have a great deal in common with experimental music and soundscapes. I have been fortunate to have made accompanying pieces for composers and musicians who are working in experimental music and sound genres.

Most recently I have been collaborating with musicians and composers to create sound and visual installations. Alongside this work I am also painting abstractions of landscapes.
