My work applies the visual analysis and research disciplines obtained in studying BA and MA art history at the Courtauld, London, to demonstrate that art is both a continuum and a language which speaks across time and space. Materials, styles and motifs evolve, as do curatorial methods; we attempt to imitate life in art, then continuously frame and reframe it. Running parallel is the constant destructive force of nature, which weathers and re-forms these imitations, unaffected by contemporary artistic concerns. To capture this dichotomy I create composites of artistic motifs, applied arts, decorative patterns and historical fragments with natural elements, often ironically playing on the illusionistic aspects of art imitating nature.
