Artist statement-
'Family and the hidden interaction between members of a family, have always been a driving force in my art work. To me, family represents my origins and allows me to have a point of departure……'
The urge to understand the complexities of life, is also encapsulated within my subject matter- children/family. One of the underlying aims of my work was to find a way to work on a visual art level, while at the same time dealing with the complexity of post-modern art-making. As I experimented with different mediums and techniques, interesting concepts started to developed...One of the most volatile and unstable phases in human development must certainly be the development of the child into an adult. Not only do a variety of physical changes take place over a period of eighteen years, but also complex changes in personality and emotional evolvement. An adult’s personality becomes more fixed as he grows older, whereas a child’s personality and identity are constantly in motion. This was the main reason for using a child as subject matter in many of my works.
My emotions are captured in every painting. My home, people I meet and different places I go to -all inspire me.
Wherever I go I take a canvas with me. I mess around with ideas while I'm travelling and I jot things down. I'm constantly mapping my journey...
