Artist Statement 

 

​I use painting, printmaking and drawing to depict commonplace and mundane urban spaces portraying passive time, emphasising atmospheres saturated with suggestion and inviting narrative interpretation. Utilising colour and light the paintings explore bigger themes of space and time, and the conceptual themes of Ma. The work aims to explore the importance of the forgotten spaces that connect the day-to-day events presenting them with an elevated importance. I find most of the imagery from my current surroundings, home and commute and capture how they are presented to me in the moment. Ultimately, I aim to explore the complex relationships people have with the spaces we exist in and the time it takes to experience them.
