Process // Mortality // Memory

"I make and paint in order to explore and give shape to ideas and experiences that I’m grappling with. During a recent residency at a hospital I focused on a personal experience of death and attempted to explore things that are abject to me.  Not the gory and grotesque, but the things hovering on the edge of my consciousness.  Following on from that, I've been thinking about things that are pushed to the edges, abjected and made Other, by society. 

I am interested in the way that the process of painting, of layering and abstracting, seems to echo these ideas and reveal some ‘Otherness’."
