The figure in my print 'Inward Gaze' looks softly out of frame, demonstrating a state of engagement with her own interior world. The nude throughout Art history has had many different associations, from eroticism to demonstrations of beauty and the sublime. For me the nude is instead a suggestion of our essential being. It represents us at our most open, vulnerable, and strong. It’s what’s left when we strip away all of the external stories and expectations that are placed upon us. It’s freedom. This is a linocut print on Japanese Hosho paper.

I am a London based printmaker and painter. My work speaks to the sensitive among us. Those who experience intensely, who are overcome by beauty, who are overwhelmed by the rush and loudness of our world, and who wish to linger more fully in the present. Our gift is knowing that the present moment holds all we need, and that by speeding through it we miss everything. We are the deep feelers and seers of the world. The more we learn to enter into this realm of quiet the more richness we are able to perceive. I express this sensitivity through the subject of the nude, more specifically my own nude body. Though I don’t see my images as self-portraits, but rather vessels for lived experience. My hope is that the viewer can sense themselves within the image. Each pose is chosen carefully to communicate something about the interior world of the figure, whether it be vulnerability, deep presence, strength, or something else entirely. What they have in common is the deep awareness of an inner state. I felt throughout my life that my sensitivity and my need to take things slowly were things to be overcome. Through my work I discovered that these were not my failings but rather the place from which I found a voice. Though often challenging, there is gold within this way of being. We learn to see ourselves, our environment, and others much more clearly. I’m drawn to works on paper for the softness that I often find in them. I originally fell in love with linocut during my studies in modern art. I was drawn to the restriction that is inherent within it. As an image is carved and layered using different blocks, the artist must be very deliberate about details, as anything extra could become much more technically complex. This naturally allows for pieces ruled by simple lines and forms. Linocut also sits at the border between art and craft, which offers intimacy to the image. Eight years into my artistic career I added gouache painting to my practice as a way to explore more detail while maintaining the minimalism and delicateness of my print-works. larger colour fields. At the same time my study of art history has come to influence my images. Observation of Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints has informed the way I compose my figures, while the silhouettes of ancient Greek pottery have inspired the tendency to define my nudes using gentle contour against solid tone.
