My work is driven by a fascination with narrative  and how our perceptions of reality re-jig  depending on the threads we pull. In my art I explore how images, fragments marks and cultural references persuade us that something is coherent, authentic or true.

 

I adore the layering of the personal with the political and the different ways people choose to acknowledge it at different times to recount stories as important as History and as 

banal as what happened yesterday.

 

Working with paint and predominantly self-created, but also found, ephemera, I unearth complex layered stories through a game of call and response. that plays with convention and genre  The resulting works invite connections, but resist a single, settled reading. 

​

My practice draws on a lifelong interest in art; its materials, compositions, techniques and collective history.
