As a graduate interdisciplinary artist, I have been creating work about environmental issues for ten years. During this time I have extensively worked with UK scientists, companies and festivals involved in the ecological field. My creative activism engages and informs, enabling the public to connect with concerns in ways that change their usual modes of perception. A recent period of post graduate study concentrated on devising methods of communicating complex scientific data in ways that are visually compelling and difficult to ignore. 

The collection selected for the Natural Resonance Festival illustrates the problems the planet faces in global terms. All incorporate burnt maps indicating the soaring increases in global surface temperatures. The pieces consider not only international borders but boundaries of thought.

Intrinsic to the work is the necessity to create the work ethically therefore the artworks were formed using recycled and sustainable materials. The resulting pieces are a fusion of art and science that arouse dialogue and curiosity.
