Awarded a-n magazine Travel Bursary (collaboration with Sarah Caputo)
We have been awarded a bursary by a-n magazine to research and work with Danish and British museums, art groups and artists to follow the routes/roots of artefacts between East Anglia and Denmark. 
We are interested in the transfer of skills and ideas that criss-crossed both actually and metaphorically over the North Sea during this time, and particularly in the evolution of the creative and conceptual significance of their form, decoration and purpose as they did so.

                 Norwegian series 2016

This work is based on  'Hyttetur'  which is Norwegian for cabin tour, but it means more than just the literal translation. Rather it describes a particular type  of journey, hiking from one cabin to another collecting water from streams, heating the cabin,  being self - sufficient far away from civilisation.
​See Paintings (recent) for more images from this series.
