Through playful enquiry, my practice rigorously explores the limitations of what painting and sculpture can be, often working between the two, to incite a dialogue between colour, space, material and shape. This process is organic and largely experimental, giving way to chance, and unexpected outcomes. The works often posses a temporality and honesty as evident in the marks, rips, holes, lines, cracks, stains and scars.
