I work in print and sculpture to map the lifecycles of rocks and fossils. 

My fascination with fossils expands to the anatomy and inner lives of ancient fossilised creatures. Through printing and folding paper I reimagine the stages of metamorphosis from an animal's initial conception into its eventual transformation into a fossil. I make work in response to my geological encounters within the city, landscape, museum and print studio.

Stone Lithography is at the heart of my practice; a printmaking technique where images are created on limestone blocks, formed of sea creatures buried 160 million years ago in deep tropical lagoons.

My work is an experiment: photo transfers are merged with fluid painterly traditional techniques to create lithographic prints, chemical processes are used to bind materials to the stone to develop new impressions, printed papers are folded into sculptures to play with printmaking in new dimensions.

Learning about the evolution of ancient jellyfish and the lifecycle of limestone has helped me understand how interactions with materials and objects can assist us in comprehending our place within deep time and bring a sense of wonder by connecting to our ancient past.

Through making I intend to bring attention to non-human stories and miraculous processes and ways of being that happen within creatures, matter and material that is part of our every day lives.
