Aria (2024) is an extraordinarily chaotic composition of still lives and animals that have been abstracted and transformed into more singular dimensional planes through lines and solid blocks of colour. The entire composition is black and white and this allows for the viewer to see the foundational forms of the still life rather than its…

Ritual Cut (2009), as the title suggests, cuts into the land creating a ceremonial cross. These cross-shaped interventions are 4.5 x 60 x 75 meters and the geometricity of them suggests more of a ritualistic precision rather than a random cut. The cuts are not for decorative purposes and serve as a reminder of where…

Window (2024) is a textile installation that seems as though it’s about to collapse- its structure looks similar to a web and is surrounded by leaves and great shadows allowing the work to be both a part of the scene yet also out of place. The strands of this installation are pulled out of the…

Black Sea (2025) is an atmospheric painting in which the dark sea reflects the moonlight continously shifting and changing yet staying in the same form: water. The sea has been changed from a location to more of a state- of time. The flowing of the waves may seem peaceful but they are always in a…

In Midnight Reflection at Ommaney Road (2024), the woman sits in a Victorian bay room which has been framed in the room symmetrically against the windows in the centre. Her face does not show any emotion as she glares at us calmly yet cold. There are five cards in front of her across the green…

Botanical Embrace (2024) is a meditative composition yet also has a sense of tension that is rising. The lower section includes numerous finely detailed line illustrations of flora which are delicate and seem to suggest that this forest grows from the memory of the tree itself. Furthermore, the tree ring itself not only registers history…

Cosmos (2025) is a composition of rich colours that divide into space and within this Earth. At first glance, it seems to be a beach set against the sea with an extremely clear night sky on the top left. However, the scene – on closer observation – takes a turn towards memory instead. Every layer…

Forest Path (2024) is an oil painting that has successfully prevented and resisted being contained and is an explosion of movement and unsteadiness. The textures and details from all the brushstrokes create guides for the viewer to move from; however, these impasto strokes flow up and down and take us to one spot and then…

Home Away From Home is not only a photograph but also a memory that seems to be layered and thus creates a fractured composition which is not certain within its orientation. The rocky geography within the work at first viewing looks as though it’s natural- however becomes more and more increasingly unfamiliar the more you…

In My Dog is a Sweetie (2024); the dog’s expression is what instantly draws the viewer to the work- the dog is wide-eyed and looks slightly anxious but also earnest. The dog is caught looking at the sweets or perhaps is confused about them being in the sky; this helps to give the work a…
