My work is an investigation into the language of the land. It sits alongside a regenerative farming project on a 34-acre site in Devon, where the increasing wilderness and agroecological practices shape my work and in turn, my work deepens my understanding of the land and its future.

This ongoing, diaristic land archive pays close attention to our unseen relationship with soil, land and nature. I reflect on how the decisions we make become part of the landscape’s memory and the wilderness it supports. I ask whether there is a symbiotic relationship between artistic and land-based practices - and how this might affect the way I steward the land.

Knowledge gathering and experimentation guide my approach. I photograph the land monthly, keeping a visual and written diary. I make ink from oak galls, charcoal from willow, birch and bone and gather plants, wool and soil to work with. These materials - unpredictable and alive - carry the essence of the place and change over time.

Though often abstract in form, my work evokes land and landscape, nature and wilderness, light and dark. Echoing one particular place, whilst reminiscent of many, it connects to the soil that sustains us and land we walk on, reflecting the passing of time and our connection to the earth. This work aims to honour the land, the tree, the soil, the maker and the viewer.

In the end we are all earth.
