“My practice is focused on 'The Underground Landscape'. I work primarily in printmaking, and photography. I utilise multiple mediums to create an encompassed experience of the underground landscape, these include print, photography, drawing, sculpture, text and installation.

I have also been keen on incorporating bookmaking into my practice as it is a unique way of viewing art and prints, also the multiples and series of images together create their own narrative.”
