I am a wood and paper artist employing traditional woodworking techniques to produce tactile bespoke artworks for exhibition, installation and commission. My process combines two materials that began at the same source – wood, a material of longevity and paper, a short-term material that I recycle to create a new shape and texture, thus extending its journey. As the pieces are hand worked each material’s grain exposes the consequences of my working actions, revealing the unseen internal imprint as the surface is scraped away.
