The core of my practice has predominantly consisted of figurative oil painting with a view to creating a narrative through a series of inter-related works.
My practice has developed from a need to understand what it is to be human, what makes us who we are and how we function within social and familial settings; exploring how we, as humans process our life experiences and the effects on our day-to-day existence.
Whilst recently undertaking a MA in Fine Art there was a significant and necessary shift to a more phenomenological approach extending a painting based practice to an exploration into printmaking and digital based media, expanding the practice to create a dialogue of 3D elements within site-specific installations.
Physical fragmented elements and sensorial triggers use the presence of the viewer’s body to make it the dominant self-reference of the experience.
