My work is an ongoing conversation between structure | landscape, stillness | movement, displacement | stagnation, presence | memory. I collect moments and communicate them through the use of gesture, washes, photography, found objects, texture, layers and mark making. A mixture of paint, photo transfers, oil pastel and graphite reinvents my work and keeps it interesting both in progression and final outlook. Whether it be concept, process or material I am in a continuous spiral of revisiting, renewing, upcycling, subtracting, adding on and retracing. Time and again I find myself investigating the aesthetic relations between man made structure and the weathering organic nature of land. During other stages, my work unfolds as a representation of my identity and experiences interacting with my altering surroundings.
