Artist Statement
I consistently aim to capture human emotion and qualities in my work. I want to record my own experiences and hope to incorporate others experiences as a collective in time.
Currently, I am exploring the concept of technological determinism through the use of colour and paint. I continue to record the essence of the people immediately around me while drawing on my knowledge of art history and reflecting some of the digital spaces we all are moving into as a society at large. By using the physical medium of paint, I reflect on the human form and the spaces we use as a mode to make marks that consciously come from constructed thought processes and subconsciously from personal stored muscular memories. That is, interweaving digital aesthetics with bodily marks.
I am currently influenced by artists from the Byzantium era through to the post Renaissance period of mannerism.
