CURRENT WORKS
Stitched Heads explores the figurative line in the tradition of portraiture but more from an abstract perspective to construct or stitch a head together without formally resolving a formation, or an identity. In essence all creations are in part to make coherent the real or imaginary. But here the un-real, the un-imagined, un-expected, the accident and the un-formed prevail. These works are done both as physical pieces on canvas, or as hybrid digital drawings.
Left: ‘Stitched Head (selfie as Frankenstein’s monster)’. Acrylic, Ink, pigment on canvas, 2022-23. Below: ‘Out of the Box’. Digital mixed media, 2022.

Line Forms Series
Lines Forms experiments with works on paper, photographic and digital works. I love to push the extremes of abstract space, colour, design, illusion and environmental concepts.
I like to think of each line figuratively as a persona, battling over space, time and territories with others and their environment. In the darkness, and in the lightness, I want to push what these marks and strokes can be and mean. To create an imaginery, hopeful and even an horrific space – where the mind can wander.
