My aim is to engage and find how the concept of ‘nature’ may be both environmentally and metaphysically explored through the art-making process.   My practice in drawing intends to satisfy a personal discovery of the ‘natural world’ by using the notion of animals removed from their ecological setting as a method to explore human interactions in the ‘natural environment’. An intense involvement in climbing permits a strong physical interaction with the natural environment whilst the subversive philosophies of writers such as Joseph Chilton Pearce advocate the preternatural context in which my practice also operates in.
