During the excavation in summer 2022 of the Anglo Saxon monastic settlement at Holy Trinity Church, Cookham, I created artwork inspired by different aspects of the dig. Below is a selection of my drawings and prints all made on site. The work is divided into three themes, the excavation trenches, the archaeological finds and the people who worked on the excavation or visited the site.

This was a self-initiated research project. I developed prints and three dimensional artwork based on my extensive visual research. During the following year, I returned officially as Artist in Residence to continue my work and provide creative workshops. The artwork has been exhibited on site during the dig, locally and in London.

The ongoing archaeological excavation academic research project is led by Professor Gabor Thomas and was featured on BBC Two’s Digging For Britain, first shown 1st January 2023.
