Statement


Using everyday materials and spaces, I explore gaps and overlaps between drawing and photography, The intention is to evoke a feeling, not to tell a story or to illustrate. Hinting at delicacy and fragility, I often use transparent or translucent materials; glass, organza, polythene, sellotape.

Transparency allows everything to be seen, inside and out, without obscuring the subject itself. Much of my work or focus of my work, will exist only for a short time. It is meant to be neither permanent nor perfect.
What goes in, what stays out? Partly, it's an inability to choose. So, I give everything equal weight. If it's there, it's in.... whether it is beautiful light or dirty marks on polythene..

Big concerns play their part, but my work is informed by everything really... love, eternity, a half-forgotten dream, a whisper.
