Artist statement:
My recent practice concerns questions around land, flora and sky, using the natural world as a device to paint.
In the early stages, my process manifests as fast uncontrolled marks, drawing and painting, using instinct to guide my gesture and pallet. Through painting, my ideas change and paint becomes layered, the instinct to change my direction exerts anxiety about my work over the inevitable unfulfillment and pressure of painting.
Though perseverance, a 'balance' begins to take hold of the painting , identifiable archetypes begin to emerge. Grey skies, shapes of plants - elements of the natural world we encounter everyday.
