Treading into a new world that speaks of care, queerness love and power, my work values fragmentation through an allowance of broken time. Playing out in collage and the layered image as well as three-dimensional work in metal and wood. Drawing allows me a movement through my thoughts, uncovering emotions and the depths of feeling. Through a patchwork of the past, present and the imaginative my work leans into the gentleness of liminal space. Grounded in mark-making my work leans on abstraction at the forefront of its visual language.
Recently I have found my way back to the identifiable: moments of domesticity, landscape and human relations creep into my drawings. Wings find themselves battling for stability in a landscape of falling marks; mountains claim substance on the smallest scale; armchairs make room for whole worlds. My work values disruption for its ability to play with time, seemingly shifting closer and further away, allowing for intimacy in the space between. By placing works on top of one another or stitching them together I explore space and scale, often dissembling and reassembling my stories in the process.
