This solo exhibition featured new works that were made whilst undertaking the artist residency post at Repton School in Derbyshire.

In this new series of works I have been appropriating geometric patterns and structural forms that originate from scientific and mathematical education manuals. I have recently been exploring ideas concerning how we perceive three dimensional shapes on two dimensional surfaces. I challenged these ideas and my practice further by creating painted cardboard reliefs and sculptures that were based on shapes and forms lifted from preliminary drawings and collages. These objects were dispersed around the gallery to act as playful interactions with the paintings.
