Statement

How do you make yourself seen and heard?
What would you say if you had the language to say it?
What things would you like to tell people that you feel you can’t?

Have you ever Questioned everything about who you are, why you are the way you are and what you are doing?

There may be many explanations that feel like no explanation at all. 

Have you ever wondered what your inner would look like if it was outside your body?
I have.
Sometimes it scares me.

Do you hide who you are? Do you even know who you are anymore? Did you ever know?

When do you let go?

Why is the thing we focus on, the thing we focus on?
In every situation there are so many angles. So many different ways of seeing, viewing, responding, reacting.

Art can give us a starting point to talk about things we didn’t realise we wanted to talk about.

To show something that there were no words to describe.
To seek connection and speak to someone who feels it too.
To embody something that has taken hold.

I work in painting and drawing with a mix of figuration and abstract mark making to speak of power, control, love and identity. 

Sometimes there’s an idea, sometimes there’s a phrase, sometimes there’s a sketch. 
A lot of the time it’s a feeling I let out and keep letting out until it’s something I understand and recognise. Things get hidden, worked over other things come to the forefront. Most of the time, I don’t know what it is until it’s out.
