My studio practice covers areas such as land, site (urban/suburban/rural), infrastructure and human made alterations/violations to nature, to represent a familiar landscape, particularly one I am amongst daily. I aim to pose questions of elements within and point out something that is visible, but taken for granted. Do we notice what is around us as we move through the landscape? Do we remember what was there? Do we realise how much we have changed the environment to suit our needs?
