“Creating imaginary spaces or capturing dramatic moments (real or illusory) are important elements of my paintings. They are intended to elicit a degree of ambiguity, inviting the viewer to bring their subjective judgement to each piece. Informed by daily routines, they are storylines about contradictory happenings – documenting intimacy and separation, appearing and disappearing, missing and forgetting, discovering and reflecting, focusing and diverging.”
