Her practice spans several techniques, from screenprinting to intaglio, each exploring colour and form in different ways. Her recent screenprinting projects explore how printmaking forces images to disintegrate into light, colours and shapes, pulled apart and fragmented by the printing process itself. Halftones and gradients suggest dissolution and force the eye to constantly switch focus, looping between the narrative of the full image, and the patterns of colour within it. Overlaid or offset layers fool the mind into reading unity and harmony where there is only disorder and conflicting information.
