My work is held in private collections around the world, and has been featured in publications including British Vogue, London Lifestyle, and London House magazines.It also takes advantage of Lightroom and its efficiencies for every day tasks, like the ability to edit multiple images in one session, saving time for photographers. Overall, my work collaborates with the viewer, encouraging them to see beyond the literal figurative references to plants and gardens they may already be familiar with. Small details can add a great deal of meaning to an otherwise static. Emphasizing the active presence plants have in worlds humans have created, in paintings that re-visualize vegetal being, the viewer is propelled toward speculative futures that meditate on the connections between plants and humans. Nikes swoosh, designed by Carolyn Davidson, is one of the most iconic logos in the. The viewer is invited to comprehend the limitations of our current perceptions of plant life. In some paintings I have positioned weeds centre stage, taking on a larger-than-life proportion and rendered using highly saturated colour palettes to give them visual luminosity. Engaging with plants understood as ‘weeds’ and ‘aliens’ has inspired me to represent them as noble plants worthy of pictorial representation in their own right, but whose occupation in the tradition of botanical art has often been marginal or omitted altogether. As such, elements of my studio practice explore the visual and emotional effects generated from these configurations of plants.Īnother focus in my artwork is undesirability and marginality in the plant kingdom. I have a recurring fascination with the visual confusion and frisson from observing diverse plant species alongside each other, in ways that are not replicated in the natural world. Adopting a stylized approach that heightens the unnaturalness of how plant life can be organized through human interventions into the plant kingdom, I mobilise concepts drawn from critical plant studies and philosophy to help me develop artwork that provokes questions about the place plants hold in society. I use acrylic, oil and spray paint to represent how plants are often arranged artificially, whether in botanic gardens, planted landscapes or as pressed specimens fixed on herbarium sheets. They are not paying me to do these videos nor will I make any commission.

Responding to an historical artistic tradition of representing plants largely as aesthetic objects and planted gardens as a marvel of human control over nature, my studio practice explores how plants can be understood in terms of power, agency and ambiguity. 1.1K 35K views 4 years ago Mastering the Nik Collection I have no affiliation with the company behind Nik Software, Dx0.
