Artist

The works form two series, Place Without Possession, based on national flags, and Quiet Code, inspired by nautical signal flags.

I'm interested in how flags are used to represent countries, mark territories and communicate messages. These familiar symbols carry meanings associated with identity, authority and ownership. I'm interested in what happens when such powerful, recognisable symbols are made from something so fragile and temporary.

Flags

I recreate national and nautical flags using hand-pressed flowers, replacing their usual bold colours and solid shapes with delicate natural materials.
