Artist’s statement

My work is in a constant state of flux: a balance between formal structure and experimentation, between repetition and one-offs. I play at the intersection of processes, always with an urge to communicate ideas. Constantly pushing at what a print can be, my work includes installation, animation, writing, film and production. I often collaborate with scientists, musicians and other artists to translate and distil research into simple concepts.

I use a wide range of materials and techniques: cutting, folding, creasing, pushing and pulling. But I usually start a body of work with wood engraving as it requires absolute concentration and allows me to be completely absorbed in the subject. I use this very slow, traditional and analogue medium to investigate the impact of rapidly evolving, contemporary, digital technologies, such as AI-generated art and social media. After that intense period of thinking, researching and making, I take my ideas into different and unexpected directions.
