Monies raised from the sale of these pieces will go to Jelly an arts charity based in Reading. They are a constant in my life as an artist. They create amazing opportunities and we feel the love. I was so fortunate to be chosen as one of the twelve artists as part of the 'At Home' residency throughout lockdown. Desire Routes was created as part of this residency along with my short film.

The editioned prints were made possible by the kindness of VGL a Reading based printers who were just so generous.

A little more about Desire Routes

Monday 20th March, a restless fear overwhelmed me and I cycled to the rivers at the back of my house. I started to cycle the same route, I had wandered as a 10 year old child, retracing the same footsteps. This was a place I wasn’t supposed to go on my own, but I did, and I would feel as free as a bird. I stood at the edge of the river exactly as I did as a child and I knew this place was full of fear, excitement danger and darkness.

A place where I could get LOST.

My daily walk led me to trace and document the river at one point. Following the desire routes of the water as it chooses the 'path of least resistance.'

Many of these pieces were created at the weir at night. It was dark, I worked quick and full of fear. This series of drawings were created as monotypes, working directly with printing ink onto a piece of glass. The prints are exactly the same size as they were created.
