About The Work
My work stretches the boundaries of painting to explore how identity is constructed over time, across place and culture, interacting with both local and global forces. My own experience of existing in a body serves as a reference point for this exploration and is a continuous thread running through my practice. In my current series, Fantasies, I construct imaginary landscapes that weave together multiple pictorial spaces, referencing real and imagined geographies and evoking different historical eras.
Questions that guide my current artistic exploration include: How can a critical conversation with art history serve as a point of understanding the parallels between conceptions of the body and the environment? How can the imagination serve as a source of resilience and comfort? And finally, How can human tendencies for destruction be transformed into ideas of sustainability and regeneration? ​
