Responding to the times we are living through, my ongoing work,'a fuller acquaintance with the archipelago' invites viewers to navigate a co-created Lilliputian world made with found objects. As observation gives way to imagination, it is possible to mentally inhabit the fossilized and fragile cast sculptures as a series of islands, surrounded or abandoned by sea. 

Living on the coast, I am drawn to the ever changing nature of the sea and its' transitory relationship with the edges of land. The roots of the ‘archipelago’ came from the UK decision to leave Europe in 2016 and developed in response to climate emergency and Covid-19. In lockdown, I intuitively began making paintings of individual islands, in effect, isolating them from the group.
