Ash, Dandelion, Kelp.

The process of creating paints and pigments from materials gathered throughout the landscape has allowed me to contrast factory produced colours with a more sustainably centred approach to making. From discarded urban remnants to wild foraged materials I have built up a unique paintbox of colours.

The act of searching for the colours forces me to approach the environment with a bold investigation, and is as much part of the process as the resulting palette.

These shades and hues are drawn from the landscape of Ireland at Arranmore Island and Port in Donegal, Hazelwood Forest in Sligo, Mizen Peninsula in West Cork, Ballingskelligs in Kerry, and the grounds of Killyon Manor, Westmeath.
