Working across painting, printmaking and drawing, my work speaks of layers \u2013 of peeling back the veneer of the everyday to uncover a sense of disquiet in an otherwise serene scene. My practice looks beyond the physical elegance of the line and more intensively towards the emotional vulnerability of the figure.<\/p>\n

Rooted in an archival approach, with an appreciation of the rich potential of drawing, my work often begins with a figure from memory or a photograph. I use a range of media, moving between printmaking, drawing and painting, in pursuit of a balance between a sense of stillness and dynamic fluidity.<\/p>\n

Rosalind Galt\u2019s 2011 book \u2018Pretty: Film and the Decorative Image\u2019 explores the notion that colour and decoration have been downgraded as aesthetics because they are associated with femininity and foreignness by a male-centric critical elite. Society is conditioned to look down on prettiness and avoid it if we want to be seen as serious-minded. It is fair to say that I am not interested in upholding such a critical elite.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, I see my practice as examining humankind\u2019s actions, emotions and subsequent resilience; I am fascinated by our capacity to adapt to adversity whilst upholding a sense of joy and play in our lives.
