About

“I am a painter who also happens to make sculptures. 

I’m interested in the screen like surface of the canvas. The surface is reconfigured, it’s in motion, it’s in time, it slides and changes, it’s adjacent to my body, it’s about colour and formed colours, it’s about negotiation and denial.

I am interested in the sculptural space. I find the medium of ceramics very close to that of painting. Its tactility and weight stretch the cognitive processes of decision making and reflection. Its space is prone to growth and fabrication”
