Solum/Saxum

(Soil / Rocks)

2024 - present

An ongoing body of work, made in collaboration with soil and rocks.

Both are magical - filtering the water we drink, growing the food we eat, helping us build our civilisations and absorbing vast amounts of CO2 from our air. As well as helping us to create the first ever known artworks, in caves around 64,000 years ago.

The series celebrates their beauty and importance to life on our planet. Sourced from a variety of locations, the works created from them condense place and time, connecting us to different landscapes, eras and histories.

Solaria

(of the sun)

2024 - present

‘Solaria’ is an ongoing body of work, between art and science, photography and painting. Made in collaboration with the sun, sea, salt and algae.

Each is created in direct sunlight over many hours/ days using these ancient entities (sea salt being one of the oldest things on our planet), an antiquated photographic solution, and antique or recycled papers embedded with stories, memories and histories of their own. Each is its own micro universe.

Solaria (Fleinvaer)

2025

A series following on from Solaria. Created in Fleinvaer, an archipelago of islands off northern Norway, as part of a funded residency. Made in collaboration with the sun, ocean, rocks, sand, wind, rain, hail, seasalt and algae.

Created around this remote tiny island, largely on long stretches of raw cotton canvas - the works evolved over many hours or days. Here the weather was a particularly active participant with storms, hail and ever-present wind all contributing to the final works.
