Describe your approach to teaching:
My courses are about encouraging students to develop ways in
which to generate a personal visual language through a variety of
materials and processes that include drawing and making.
What inspires your own work?
My own work has many starting points but at its heart is a ritual
of making and unmaking that is about exploring the relationship
between process, material and imagery.
