earth pigment painting & ancestral craft

Working with materials of the Earth and ancient methods of land-based creativity, to restore deep intimacy with place.

I paint on wild surfaces using earthen pigments - raw colour sifted from rocks and clays that I have gathered within my local landscape. In this way, my work is a direct response to the land and my movement through it ~ Intrinsically bound up in the environment that surrounds me, each brushstroke infused with the living embodiment of place. A prayer of pigment, a calling towards remembrance.

A delicate merging of mineral, flora and fauna.

Each painting is a living alchemy of animal hide, herbal infusions, plant dyes, tree barks, wild pigments and crushed minerals - An embodied conversation with materials filled with animistic materiality.

∽ Collaborating with the wild to translate the primordial voice of animal, soil and stone ~
