I have a bachelors in theatre design and worked in music videos and commercials for the first ten years of my career and, with retrospect, recognize the influence of film making - the use of light and color within that genre - in my work now.

I then re-trained in horticulture and have learnt to observe the world around me through the lens of a naturalist, with an understanding of rhythms and complex connections that make up the web of our human existence.

I am currently looking at that natural world, the trees, the landscape, the sky and the ocean, and exploring how our human impact, the buildings we build, the electric lights we blast in every direction, how those things affect the circadian rhythms of trees and plants, of animals at a cellular level, and infinitely how those things affect our experience of the world. Can a tree be healthy if it never receives the rest it needs in the form of darkness? And within that tree every creature and every microbe is affected. Can we flood every part of our world with light and be healthy ourselves? Can we flood every part of our world with non-natural things? Where is the space left for the natural? If you invert an image, such as an image of the sea, it becomes electrified and cold and unnatural. How do we respond to images of natural things made unnatural? What does it mean - “natural” in this, the Anthropocene Epoch?"
