Artist Statement
My curiosity lies with the overfamiliar and mundane aspects of day to day life. My painting practice is a continuous exploration of perspective, form, colour and my relationship to the often intimate, domestic places I draw inspiration from to recreate as a ‘familiar-nowhere.’ I hope to disrupt the figure-ground relationship, each painting living as a puzzle of space and form interacting with each other. The oil paintings attempt to lie on the threshold of the intangible - surreal-like spaces emerge from the quotidian, and are rendered unrecognizable.
