As a roving frottage artist, I work in movement—tracing the textured language of place wherever I go. Whether in Aotearoa or abroad, I seek out surfaces that carry stories: stone walls, wooden carvings, city pavements, sacred spaces. My practice captures these impressions using graphite rubbing techniques, preserving the memory held in matter.
Frottage is both a solitary ritual and a shared invitation. I often facilitate participatory sessions, inviting others to press, notice, and create their own memory-marked works. Together, we slow down, connect with our environment, and honour the quiet histories etched beneath our feet.
Common Ground is a working series formed while travelling through Europe, tracing shared histories and landscapes through textured surfaces and frottage.
