As a printmaker the primary focus of my practice is to make etchings. I use printing’s processes both as a means of making work and a medium of meaning. Working with the specific qualities of the material I create enduring marks on the plate that, when printed, make visible this absence or lack. Using the unique possibilities which arise from the interaction between the plate, ink and paper, the prints created are both formed and formless. They evoke places both real and imagined and explore the possibility of capturing a moment in time.
