Notes


About 

My work relates to the fragile nature of our day-to-day existence; one that is constantly shifting and vulnerable to change. Using the camera as a sketchbook, I capture fleeting moments of the everyday that I feel though seemingly ordinary, have the potential to become eerily extraordinary when re-imagined through paint.  

The process of making involves the creation and subtraction of layers of paint through which subject matter is edited, omitted and obscured adding elements of uncertainty and ambiguity to these everyday events.  

Figures engage in their own activity, seemingly unaware of the viewer and occupy a liminal space that can appear dreamlike. While these scenes may seem familiar, they are also treated in a manner that suggests a strange and haunted undercurrent. This element of unease can destabilize our initial impression of the scene suggesting that what we know in one moment can be undone in the next.
