My artwork is an investigation of visual magic.
I’m interested in organic forms; the bumps and folds, the porous bits, and the diaphanous, bioluminescent structures in nature. I exploit these textural qualities through an intuitive and experimental process called fumage; a surrealist technique of mark making with soot and flame. There is something invigorating and teaching about working with a medium that cannot be controlled; a process that is both destructive and creative.
