The aim of my work is to capture the invisible things within us, using a mix of representational and abstract elements. Half formed faces and figures hang in empty spaces, unclear whether falling apart or piecing themselves together, surrounded by a language of abstract marks and shapes. It’s an attempt to give a physical shape to the endless internal soup of human emotion.

 

What I create on any given day is entirely dependent on my mood – Sometimes there's a plan and I know where it's heading, sometimes it takes a while for me to understand what it means and where it came from, sometimes it's okay to not understand it at all. It feels like a kind of therapy; giving a visible form to the human condition, to the things deep within us all.

 

My paintings are highly introspective, but I'm fascinated by how my work is read by others, so I offer it up with no forced narratives so that the viewer is free to explore it in their own way and on their own terms. I can only ever truly know my own experience, but it is not the only one – I see my work as an outstretched hand, hoping to find quiet connection and mutual understanding in an infinitely confusing world.
