"Tectonics I" 2016.

 "Tectonics" speaks to the earth and its movement beneath us. Natural materials have been used to convey compression, uplifts and lateral changes.

Tectonics 2016

This is the first in a new body of work looking at my physical world, the cliffs and rock outcrops I see in my immediate surroundings. The materials I have used are all naturally dyed with plant and mineral dyes that are also taken from my immediate surroundings. This work is exploring how I am physically connected to my surroundings and how I can use very simple natural materials transformed within my surroundings to create a visual expression of my connectedness. The work is informed by slow making methodology and ecologically sensitive considerations, aligned with the underpinning fundamentals of my practice.
