Artist Statement
I’m interested in exploring narratives in the environment. I try to deconstruct my drawings to pull at the threads and unlock something unexpected. I strive for simplicity. To strip back to the essence of an idea, a thing or place, but also allowing the medium to influence the direction the work takes. This method of composition, use of colour and juxtaposition ultimately leads the work into abstraction.
