My Queer River research is all about questioning boundaries and binaries, between inside and outside the body, above and below the surface, and between land and water. River Avon inks have been used to create ‘Beneath the Surface’

To me, individual and ecological wellbeing are completely entwined, and issues with either often stem from an inability to directly perceive this state of interbeing and act accordingly. My artwork gives me a way to process my learning about wetlands and wellbeing, about the relationship between these inner and outer flows, and to share my understanding with others.
