Artist Statement
Inspired by old natural history illustrations and biology texts, my work is influenced by a wide range of visual styles including fine art, illustration, visionary and decorative arts. I am intrigued by processes in nature such as growth and reproduction as well as the idea of consciousness in nature.
I'm fascinated by the infinite variety of natural forms that exist on the one hand, and the patterns and structures that continually recur amongst such diversity on the other. I'm particularly drawn to small organisms, especially invertebrates. These organisms are often combined and transformed into new and conscious beings in my work.
