Interstate 95 is a multi-block relief print combining woodcut and engraving, created using a reduction technique to produce a layered, seven-colour print.
Coastal Defence is a series of engravings that explore coastal erosion, ocean conservation, and climate change from both local and global perspectives. The series includes: South Street, Alphabet City, 55 Water Street, Manhattan Beach, Interstate 95, Mill Basin.
The work explores the world above and below the sea, reflecting on home, place, loss, and the ocean’s role in connecting coastal regions worldwide. It draws parallels between Norfolk’s coastline and other vulnerable areas facing rising sea levels.
These engravings feature studies of rock armour and reefs reinforcing the Norfolk seawall, alongside maps of the 1953 flood damage in Sea Palling, a Norfolk coastal village, and projected flood maps of New York.
The series deepens understanding of Norfolk’s struggle with coastal loss, questioning how identity, memory, history, and narrative shape our sense of place and home.
Selected for the 256th RA Summer Exhibition, 2024
