I am interested in the iterative act of seeing and seeing again. I work with and around processes of printmaking, layering, repeating, obstructing and shifting images, forms and effects. This becomes a way of looking at what we see and how we see. There is an instability to this, a disconnection. Through iteration, I make series of works in which the interrupted traces of the photographic meet forms and fracture, finding connections in different ways.

My current way of working is centred on the processes and modalities of monoprint, photopolymer and intaglio printmaking, which provide boundaries and rules that allow me to slow down. This gives me an opportunity to stop and start throughout the making process; with each pass through the press I have a moment to consider the interactions and connections being formed. I see this as a type of ongoing conversation.
