I used traditional etchings as the base for my new geometric collages. I drew a geometric lattice pattern on the reverse of the print and hand cut shapes to reveal an intricate pathway across the landscape print. The 'cut-out' remains a single sheet and is simply the top layer of the collage, with acid free, coloured paper working in harmony behind.

Inspired by Indian 'Jali' lattice screens and windows, I have sought to create collages that move between different planes. I want the eye to move between the pictorial plane of the print and the more abstract pattern behind.

Up close, the individual elements and details from the etching can be seen and linked by following the pathways. From a distance, the whole piece can seem more abstract, with the different tones creating a play of light across the surface of the collage.

I have recently finished studying printmaking at the Faculdade das Belas Artes in Porto and am drawn to the way detailed etchings can pull the viewer into an image while creating a more unified image from a distance.

I have always loved geometry, pattern and maths. My work is a means of exploring and understanding these relationships.

The latest series, I am working on, involves using recycled leather cut-offs from the shoe making industry here in Portugal. The range of colours and surface finishes available creates a unique palette to work from. Each individual piece is cut using a bespoke knife, made from a hand-drawn template.

The combination of geometry and colour allows the eye to wander over the surface, and for me, has a meditative quality.

With collage, the act of cutting through a sheet of material reveals a window into another layer below. My work tries to create a sense of surface pattern, letting the eye roam over the picture plane, as well as creating a sense of depth and of space receding behind the surface.
