My practice is situated in the relationship between the destabilising effects of industrialisation then with the following effects of human advancement in the age of the Capitalcene, and the natural world within fragile ecosystems. Much of my work begins with site-specific environments and my direct encounters in these spaces with the species that inhabit them. Working across photography and painting, I use photography as a foundation to construct environments that invite viewers to reflect on their relationship with the natural world and the consequences of human intervention. I then return to painting as a more deliberate act of observation and preservation, placing subjects within highly considered yet artificial tableaux highlighting the tension between constructed views of nature and the ways in which natural environments are continually being reshaped, tamed and maintained for our own version of nature to the point where it cannot truly be considered “wild”
