Porosity is a scientific term of measurement connecting water and rock, and it indicates how they almost become each other. Through drawing, print and installation, my project seeks to reveal further such connections, especially between invisible landscapes and the walking body: the invisible shaping the visible.

Walking, conversation, material and technological investigations are brought together to consider how human belief, customs and scientific understanding connect us to unseen landscapes. My focus is on the relationship between the physical nature of making, the materials chosen and fully conscious walking, a connection to a sense of place that explores how the world around us is held together in terms of energy, forces and form and filtered through human perception.

The resulting artworks are visual traces of the relationship between materials, thought and movement; traces, which notice detail, slow down, witness, communicate and seek to be curious.
Installation and site-specific drawing invite a mode of sensing that is more attuned to the multiple ways in which the world is active around us. Many of my drawings exist in situ only briefly, and though some are very large, they are recorded here as details, shown without scale. They aim to build a series of fragmented moments inviting you to reflect on connections between inside and outside, boundaries between energies of the body, materials and the relationship between looking, thinking and feeling.
