The paintings and sculpture
I make are autobiographical abstractions. I’ve adapted my
work to focus on conveying a sense of tone about specific experiences in my
life. What I am after, visually, is akin to how smell and taste trigger memory.
I combine this ethos with a duality of existence that is personally inherent. When
confronted with external forces like order vs. chaos, right vs. wrong, nature
vs. progress, I use my work to try and find a sense of balance. As the world
changes, my perspective shifts too and in uncertain times I think it’s helpful
to remember how beautiful and complex life can be and I would like my art to
reflect that.
