“My work focuses on the unnoticed elements of life discarded objects, marks, and the passage of time I collect remnants of the everyday: a rubber band, crumpled paper, a broken fragment. These are non-objects, often overlooked and carry traces of human activity and become a new vocabulary of shapes in my paintings These forms develop into a semiotic language, where the familiar transforms into something unfamiliar, but always rooted in the real world
I construct my work under self-imposed limitations – as limitations forces creative solutions I limit myself to humble, non-artistic materials wax, varnish, household paint, and found objects. The paint I use is often poured and allowed to congeal and crack, much like spilled paint on a pavement, emphasising the process of time and decay. I work primarily on wood, allowing the surface to be built upon, attacked, and sanded back – revealing layers My approach to creating surfaces is inspired by the weathered and worn surfaces that we see all around us. These works are not just images; they are physical objects, with the process of their making visible in the final piece
The paintings could be described as collage but I see them within the tradition of painting itself The question I am always asking is, “What is an image?”. Whether made from oil paint, pixels, mosaics, or chalk, an image is always constructed from material – and therefore an image can be constructed from anything
In essence, my work is about creating images of things made from things The ordinary becomes strange, and through this transformation, the discarded and the forgotten acquire a new meaning. These works are images of things that are simultaneously objects in themselves ”
