primordials | Paintings created from botanical inks and natural pigments explore the expressive potential of materials and what stories they can tell. Ink pours and drips, flows and settles, using gravity, water, and time to create marks that mimic natural processes – like erosion, cracking, or sediment settling. When referencing classical sculpture, these elemental landscapes are contained within silhouettes, subverting idealised contours and reinterpreting beauty through raw, fragmented forms. Using natural materials connects each piece to ancient histories – geology, experience, and transformation.
