My Illustration practice is inspired by psychology, folklore, dreams and bygone eras. I work in a variety of mediums to create images and 3D work including collage, found imagery/objects, textures and printmaking as I feel this adds to the layers, feel and nostalgia of the work. I develop my initial ideas by creating a sense-of-place book to explore the mood, world and visual language, and then progress to create collages or a body of work that allows me to play with different mediums and elements. I enjoy working in 3D as I feel it brings my work to life and allows the viewer to have a more interactive involvement with the work. The work on the whole, is nostalgic, dream-like and playful, with an underlying uncanniness to it as it draws on the subconscious.
