I use sculpture, drawing and installation to explore how my feelings and consciousness take physical forms and with each work I make I dig deeper into my internal landscape. Effodia. 

​

Works represent and emerge from different zones within the landscape, and as you venture further into the world you discover forms shaped by pressure, repetition, anxiety and passion. This landscape is revealed gradually as I create, with each new project exposing new physical elements of this internal world and further understanding of myself.

​

Clay is central to this process with its capacity to evidence touch, whilst cracks, fissures and collaging forms emulate emotional and mental states. Drawings and paintings act as maps and records of this landscape, as creative ways to navigate this internal space. I will expand Effodia over my lifetime, understand more territories and watch as pieces of it fall away. 

​

I dig it up, I excavate it and build it further.
