My practice is based on the active observation of the everyday, focusing on the complexities and wonder (a word intended to encompass awe and horror as well as joy) of everyday existence. Through colour, gesture and form, I try to communicate what it is to live in an impermanent body within an inherently uncertain and ever changing environment. The works have been made through a combined process of writing, drawing and painting and draw upon personal observations, poetry, film and found imagery.
