Statement: My studio practice consists of figurative works on paper exploring the aesthetics of candid imagery. My process is to gather material that inspires me and redact/annotate/decorate until I reach a point which captures the instant whilst preserving its impermanence. I focus predominantly on themes surrounding feminism, sustainability and spirituality. I'm interested in how our individual expressions of taste, formed through nature and nurture, interact to create our sensate world. By depicting our unguarded moments, I aim to reveal the subtleties of our social realities and contextualise them within a sensitive, playful theory of art. I'm inspired by artists Marlene Dumas, Noah Davis and Sophia Al Maria whose ethereal use of colour and composition bears witness to the unpredictability of human behaviour. I'm also influenced by video and performance works; favourites include From Gulf to Gulf to Gulf (CAMP, 2013) and Sleeping Beauty (Taras Polataiko, 2012).
