Q&A

Artist Statement

I work with natural plant materials, heather, grass, rushes etc. using traditional techniques to make contemporary work

What inspires you to work with this craft? 

Working along the edge between producing artefacts and seeding ideas my practice is informed by archaeology, Gaelic culture, botany and traditional skills

How do you start your creative process?

Conscious of our changing relationship with the natural world and these deep metaphysical connections, I seek to bring into fresh focus aspects of this relationship.

Are there new techniques you would like to try?

I am continually inspired by the plants around me, their intrinsic structures, adaptations and how we have been working with them for thousands of years.
