As ‘place’ is central to my practice, my discovery of Lanzarote as a locality will play a significant role in the eventual realised output from my time on the island. I relish the prospect of developing a new body of work whilst immersed in this active landscape. I regard this as an ideal location in which to consider how the deep past is recorded, remembered and reconstructed as new landforms construct and reconstruct. I am interested in questions of permanence and instability in the reproduction of form and how meaning is forged, destabilised and reimagined in different contexts and moments.

The resulting body of work which will manifest from my time at Hektor will reflect this curiosity. These works will be undertaken with paint, pigment, ink and natural inclusions on paper and board.
