My work is concerned with our perceptions and relationships to landscapes and our surrounding urban environments. I draw on the rich material of my family history, the built environment and physical landscapes to interrogate questions of heritage, memory and trauma. By capturing our relationship to place through art, we can engage in the processes of remembrance and forgetting.

My creative journey navigates the intersection of place and memory, seeking to expose the layered memories and emotions of our experiences with places, informed by our past, our heritage, our present and our future. I am inspired by liminal and transitional places, forgotten and disregarded landscapes, and functional and industrial urban spaces. I am interested in peripheral and in-between 'non-spaces', occupied for short spans of time. While these places may be absent from our consciousness, they contain the ghosts of presences and absences, unable to move on from our world, as we remain attached to our past.

Using a combination of archival research, fieldwork impressions and sketches, I seek to map traces of the past with inspiration from psychogeography and cartographie sensible methods. My work grapples with the challenge of plotting memory onto place at the intersection of illustration and traditional cartography. At its root, my art explores how our tangible and intangible heritage shapes our future and how places carry the traces of those who came before us.
