I am fascinated by the landscape that exists beneath our feet.

It's a place that we can't really see but can only imagine. How wonderful are the channels

of communication and interdependence that exist below us. The complex underground

web of roots, fungi and bacteria that connect trees and plants to one another form a 

fascinating  symbiotic relationship . Trees and plants

extract nutrition such as nitrogen and phosphorus from the fungi and the fungi receive their

energy requirements and carbon from the plants.

As an artist I seek to  imagine what these channels of communication 

might look like and discover ways of representing them. 

By experimenting  with different paint media, which I thin to a liquid, enabling it to  move across the canvas,

 I am able to simulate the dendritic patterns of the natural world. 

What makes this process so exciting for me is that the outcome is unpredictable.

The dried paint forms intricate and unique patterns often suggestive of movement.

They conjure up images  relating to natural phenomena, emotions and feelings.
