My artwork has always explored the potential for new experience within deeply familiar subjects such as still life, landscape and figure painting. The actions and events depicted in my work are similarly mundane; seeking to express the overlap between routine daily experience and life’s most unsettling moments. The spaces within the work are physical and psychological. They contain illusion and atmosphere while being self consciously places of painted material. Through nurturing these dualities, I explore the inherent connection between the physical world and our internal states as we cross the boundary between disparate sensations, identities and modes of being. The figures in my paintings are meditations on this shifting relationship.
