This collage grew out of an intuitive play with colour and movement. The red arcs appeared first, sweeping across the surface like two gestures meeting in the middle. From there the composition slowly began to resemble a kind of imagined landscape — a horizon, a passage, or perhaps just a moment where different forces meet. I like working with torn edges, strong colour and unexpected shapes. They introduce a sense of tension and rhythm that keeps the image slightly unstable. The blue circle at the centre acts almost like a pause — a quiet space between the more energetic marks. The piece remains close to the original process's feeling: spontaneous, layered, and open to interpretation. • Poly-cotton blend canvas with a matte/satin finish. Scratch, crack, and warp resistant. • Vibrant, long-lasting colours with water-based HP Latex inks and UV protection. • Solid wooden frame from renewable sources, 4 cm deep.
A small note about this shop.
Most of my work exists as jewellery, exhibitions, writing and curatorial projects. The prints you find here come from a different part of my practice: drawing, collage, collecting images and making marks. If you visit the Sketchbook section of this website, you'll see that these activities are not separate from my work but are often where ideas first begin.
For a long time, these drawings and experiments remained in sketchbooks, folders and studio drawers. Then I came across a printing company whose attention to quality matched my own values. Their fine art papers, canvas prints and beautifully crafted Italian handmade frames convinced me that these works could exist beyond the page without losing their character.
There is also a practical reason for this shop. Sales help support my artistic and curatorial practice, allowing me to continue making work, organising projects, writing, researching and collaborating with others.
So, in a way, this shop is both a small extension of my studio and a way of helping sustain everything else that happens within it.
Thank you for being here.
