I am inspired by the rhythm of repetition and how the physical act of creating geometric patterns using hand cut straight lines on a variety of planes can be both meditative and calming.

Surprising optical illusions of movement and depth have arisen within my prints when two different blocks are overprinted using colours such as Venetian red and gold. These colours are found traditionally in buildings, manuscripts and on textiles of spiritual significance and readily lend themselves to my subject matter.

I have developed an acceptance of perceived imperfections in my cut lines, in the belief that all is perfect, just as it is meant to be. This belief continually proves itself, as what I initially perceive as an imperfection in the cut block, when printed it turns out to be a subtle feature of beauty and interest within the final print.
