My practice is research driven, broadly examining the re-enchantment of nature as a process-led, ecological aesthetic method. The fundamental aim of re-enchantment is to attempt to resolve the perception that nature and human civilisation are separate; develop integral aesthetic methods of practice, and a visual language, that promote nature and humans as interdependent.

Rather than imposing any lasting human-centred form upon or within nature and the environment, I investigate a collaborative aesthetic language that acknowledges nature as co-author within the creative process. Interfacing with nature I explore the generative potential of its self-regulating processes; rather than employing an eco-interventionist method, I often seek to give nature a visual ‘voice’, the means to express and tell its own story – via its dynamic processes and capabilities - and reveal the subtle narratives / events that many of us are often unaware of and fail to acknowledge intimately. A playful, somewhat whimsical, romanticism is often present, incorporating pseudo-narratives and a subversive poeticism.

It is via such collaborative storytelling, a union between artist and natural process, that the potential to re-enchant nature may occur; via methods that perceive nature not as something separate from the artist to be manipulated, commandeered or shaped, but as an interdependent creative energy.
