My work explores visual representations of thought, focusing on an individual's interactions with the non-physical aspects of their existence. I created a series of pen, watercolour and gouache illustrations which serve as 'mental maps', with thoughts expressed as repeated patterns, shapes and motifs. My interest in bookbinding and self-publishing led me to transfer my illustrations into a zine, where each turn of the page furthers the ideas of my original concept.
