About the Work

I make paintings of invented scenes and scenarios exploring ecology, mythology and place. 

Narrative vignettes that play with a kind of gallows humour or absurdism to convey particular emotions or psychological states. The images increasingly feature a cast of creaturely forms navigating their own struggle to make sense of the world they inhabit, of the space of their own bodies, and their desire for a more certain future. 

This is an earthy world where the boundaries between human, animal and fauna begin to dissolve and reassemble. Forming new symbioses or rivalries in response to escalating changes to the natural order

The works celebrate the pleasure and physical matter of painting. They explore how specific characteristics or ideas can be embedded in material. Can the paint itself be creaturely, calamitous, reassembling, fused with hope?
