STATEMENT

"The work holds dualities. It appears organic and geometric, contemporary and archaic, awkward and coherent, unstable yet whole—seeking a unity that remains alive, open, playful and charged."

“I make small-scale paintings using oil and other materials on wood panel. Through an intuitive process of layering and reworking, the paintings evolve as invented relational spaces shaped by colour, material and spatial tension. The work holds dualities — it appears organic and geometric, contemporary and archaic, awkward and coherent, unstable yet whole — seeking a unity that remains alive, open and charged. What interests me, ultimately, is the handmade object as a site of exchange: whether something accrued through the process of making can be felt by someone standing in front of it, without explanation.”
