There is so much about the unknown in these paintings, I am exploring freely outside the margins of the paper pushing the eye out, making space for thinking beyond what you get to see. What is beyond what we can see? What will you do when the well-worn and trodden path ends, how will you continue?

I like to think about how memory plays a part in our lives, what does it mean to remember, to revisit, to retell. Lines move, intersect and layer as a thought might run parallel to and across other thoughts or perhaps memories. These paintings can be seen as a map; a type of internal geography of emotion, tracking footsteps and paths we take more than once, feelings we feel over and over again. Challenges that reoccur and ask you have you learned anything yet?
