“I am constantly recording down moments & experiences, everything from the glances of strangers, to my own thoughts & feelings, it all infiltrates back into my work. These records take form as little notes, sketches & scrawls and it is these treasures that go on to inspire the paintings, drawings, installations and book forms that I produce – quite diary like in their execution. It is hoped that the pieces work on multiple levels, in being both visually pleasing, even pretty in some cases, but also thought provoking, allowing the viewer to read something else into them. My writing is almost miniature, therefore quite a challenge to decipher, often disguised as texture or mark making. I like that it is not very obvious to the casual viewer, but if the audience takes the time to really look into the pieces, that they might be rewarded.”
This exhibition was postponed from 28th January 2021, due to national lockdown.
