‘My work stems from the awe and fascination with contemporary minimalist architecture and the incorporation of nature into that living environment. I display my design ideas of this architecture through the medium of aquatint, giving the print much more depth through the multiple tones that aquatint creates. Grabbing the viewer and leading them through a pathway and perspective of space and its surroundings, allows the viewer to enter a place of calmness and serenity that I have created.’
