This series of works mark a new beginning and brings together a body of work that explores how historic and contemporary materials can evoke transient natural states. Each piece is an attempt to hold something fleeting—to make stillness visible.
I work with dry pigments, some over a hundred years old—materials chosen not only for their rarity but for the way they interact with light. Each pigment has its own character: some absorb light into velvet depths, others scatter it like mist. I suspend these pigments in water-based binders, working in slow, layered processes that allow the surface to breathe and shift with the light around it.
My practice is grounded in close observation of nature’s quieter moods at a point of change —those moments that resist capture. I’m drawn to the liminal: moonlit dawns, soft rain, low cloud, the silver hush before a storm. These are not landscapes in the traditional sense, but atmospheric fields—emotional spaces shaped by memory, light, and time.
