My recent works have been an exploration into feelings of hiraeth, togetherness, place and loss, through the words of familiar songs, hymns and nursery rimes of my childhood and life in rural West Wales, The National Anthem is my latest piece in this body of work. Going to school in Tregaron Ogwyn Davies has inevitably been an influence on my work, I would walk past one of his original paintings of the anthem in our school corridor countless times a day, grey formidable and heavy with texture. 

I enjoy heavily embossing these familiar words into the velvety paper, the paper happily yielding to the form of the letters and words, I find it particularly pleasing the way the words become a part of the paper rather than sitting on the surface they are now its fabric and texture.
