Drypoint with a single needle
h: 45 w: 45 d: 1 (cms).
"Safe" is a drypoint print made using a single diamond-point needle over a period of two months. The work is an ode to my father’s shirt, an object that, for me, represents protection, memory, and quiet love. In my practice, I explore how everyday belongings carry the emotional weight of care, and how they become symbols of strength and grounding. This shirt, worn and familiar, holds the kind of safety that doesn’t need words, the kind we return to when the world feels uncertain. Through the slow, intentional act of mark-making, I attempt to preserve not just the image, but the feeling of being held. Time, in this work, is both material and metaphor, allowing emotion to settle, and memory to become tangible.

Drypoint with a single needle
h: 49 w: 43 d: 1 (cms).
"The Search" is a drypoint print created by engraving a fibre sheet with a diamond-point needle, then printing it by hand using a letterpress. The process took over 4 months, with 10-hour workdays. The scene captures a quiet hillside house, almost hidden in dense foliage, with a tiny bird perched on the window ledge. This bird becomes a symbol of pause, safety, and feminine strength, evoking a sense of journey and inner reflection. The winding road below mirrors the emotional paths we take in search of belonging. Drawing from memories of home, the work explores the need for sanctuary and the quiet resilience women carry. Every mark is intentional - an act of care, effort, and deep observation.
