I am more interested in the marks we leave behind than those we try to make; the thing that happens when we’re not looking, the line that leads us elsewhere…
Much like a musical sample or patchwork fabric, I reuse and recycle previous works and canvas, cutting them up and casting them amongst new landscapes. I refer to these as “contemporary leftovers”, a collection of disjointed stories, themes and ideas sewn together across time and space.
Driven by a desire to create, construct and connect, my work shifts between the graphic and gestural, combining elements of drawing, painting, printing and collage.
