Through various media - predominantly painting but also using video/animation and collage, I explore combinations/compositions of varying semi figurative imagery. Using reference material generally sourced from the Internet and imagery invented through the process of making. How this imagery is presented varies but often relates to interior spaces, landscapes, portraits, still life, icons and museology.
A flux of multi layered references flips from dream-like beauty and lightness to nightmarish melancholic banality and horror. A hypnotic, sickly sweet aesthetic is consistent; as is a sense of the uncanny or otherness. There is also a sense of re-newel, creation, metamorphosis and therefore perhaps evolution.
All of this essentially occurs within a timeless, virtual, alternate universe that reflects our own present. From one work to another there is a potential non-specific narrative link which creates an interchangeable cast of characters, props and locations.
