I took a walk around the village yesterday and took some photos of the different drains, manholes and signs that are dotted around the road sides and surfaces.

I am attracted to the combination of the ‘man-made’ imagery and the worn and corroded surfaces, which link with the appropriated natural history imagery and cut/stitched/distressed materials in my work… a link between the image and object, man-made and natural.

For me these things are an expression of ‘one-ness’ and highlight the beauty to be found in the everyday.
