" Enthused by my portfolio I am inspired by the free flowing energy my drawings contain. I am fascinated by the ongoing construction work of surrounding building sites and how they encapsulate an industrial quality. Experimenting with mono-printing, collaging and spray painting has allowed me to capture their qualities and translate their lines into my own work. 

In my practical work I am inspired by the urban environment. I am particularly interested in texture, colour, and scale. Growing up in Edinburgh and having widened my travels to northern Europe, I have been inspired by many interesting buildings and city street scenes. Ornate windows; rooftops and bicycles have become a characteristic focus and starting point for my work. Colour also compliments my sense of fun and enjoyment whilst making the pieces. 

My work is primarily made using oxidised and unoxidised wire and coloured acrylics. I use wire to create linear structures in order to replicate the same quality as my drawn lines. To add contrast to these structures I use coloured non precious materials similar to everyday objects found within the urban environment."
