Urban Musings
Inspired by nature and architecture, this series created in 2023 considers their interplay in evoking memories and emotions. I am especially drawn to the interaction of nature with our built environment, juxtaposing the organic with the geometric. Distilling ideas from found moments of unexpected beauty, I combine media – plaster, carving and pastels – to imbue my work with a subtle sense of materiality and allusions to the effects of water and time on our built environment. Reducing form and ideas to their essence, I balance strength with quiet, scale with intimacy, the masculine and the feminine to create moments for contemplation.
