Specialising in producing large scale dry-point prints, which explores the concept of interstitial spaces.

​

“Fascinated by natural and man-made apertures; I explore tunnels, arches, cave openings and fissures. These forms create an intervening space called an ‘interstice.’ My work questions the relationship between the space, the form, and the “object.” It examines the structures, the interstitial spaces formed within and its relationship with the viewer. What is this connection and why is it so harmonious? The use of black and white emphasises the disparity between the interstice and interstitial space. The two colours oppose each other, yet work together. The viewer is immersed within this re-representational space through the size of the prints.”
