While  holding  in our hands material pigments that were held in the hands of , or under the feet of, or in the clothes on the backs of people from the past,  we can hold lost voices across time in an entangled connection with the present,  if we listen very carefully.

​The materials in my current work are chalk, iron, carbon, manganese, water, egg and oil, which form bone and blood, plants and life and by virtue of that also death. They form ochres, carbon blacks, umbers, manganese black, rust, brick dust and the oil paints I make and use.They are also found in the found objects in my current work. these are the materials of Palaeolithic cave paintings, and the basic matter of life.
