My practice is rooted in emotional depth and guided by curiosity, unfolding through drawing and material experimentation. I embrace being in the discomfort of uncertainty, allowing each work to evolve through cycles of layering, destruction and re-emergence. Drawing is my way into the work, an intuitive process that quiets external noise and my internal dialogue. I respond instinctively to mark-making, engaging in a tactile conversation between shape, line, and colour. Often, I scrape back or erase previous marks, revealing earlier layers and playing with presence and absence. This rhythm of construction and erasure holds the work in a state of tension, open to discovery and resistant to resolution. Painting, for me, is both an embodied and visceral process. By confronting the unpredictability of paint, I transform sensations of anxiety and fear of failure into new forms and languages. When a painting stalls, I deliberately take risks through bold gestures, flipping the work or obliterating it, disrupting what’s known to access new, unexpected routes. My intention is to constantly discover through the paint and to learn from the work. Ultimately, it is an introspective investigation of the unknown. The paintings are psychological terrains, reports of my evolving emotional states and experiences, though the process of making. They are mirrors reflecting universal feelings, inviting a wide spectrum of responses through the vulnerability and openness of their making.
