Urban Bee Project - Limited Edition of 1 Print

Through my artwork I look to say something about the environment - explore how we interact, use, abuse and collaborate with the natural world around us. This has taken me to interact with specific sites such as a regenerated landfill site and increasingly to focus on the small ubiquitous and often reviled weeds and bugs that form the foundation and engine room of ecosystems. Much of my current practice involves ongoing studies of Devon Hedgerows. Devon has more hedgerows than any other county in the UK, supporting over 600 plant species, 1500 insects, 65 birds and 20 mammals. In addition to studying Devon hedgerows, I have also undertaken projects looking at the importance of urban bees; a celebration of our most rare farm bird being brought back from the brink of extinction; and ongoing observations of local weeds/wild flowers. I am a founder member of Double Elephant Print Workshop and a member of the Devon Guild of Craftsmen.
