“That which is dreamed can never be lost, can never be undreamed.” Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 10: The Wake

I paint with Encaustic Wax overlayed with oil paint and combined with collage and mixed media to create hybrid points of transferral where such divisions as ego, alter-ego and other disappear infering a continual adaptation and rearrangement of identity. Inherent within this is fragmentation, rupture, contradiction, and multiplicity as analogy to the human, technological and social conditions of contemporary society. My work responds to questions of identity, individuality, and conceptual understanding of ‘self’, exploring notions of ‘otherness’, physical discreetness and confluence with the built environment. It is important for me to use my work as a means of exploring and potentially understanding human behaviour as manifested through images it constructs of itself.

You are a very good artist with a humourous way of expressing your ideas. The paintings of women in your art exhibition are advanced in terms of style and theory.

The medium/media that you make your art with has a tactile quality that is aesthetically pleasing. The portrait of a woman's face that you have painted for the Outside In show is sensitive to the themes that you explore .
