My work plays with character, identity and survival strategies in my efforts to understand, interpret and laugh at the complexities of life.
I am interested in the stories we construct and how they distract us from the factThe paintings evolve organically; I approach each composition as a conversation between myself and the viewer, using symbolism, both established and personal without definitive beginnings or endings; in the sculptures I’m looking for allegorical mottos that straddle the ecological, psychological and the existential
I look for humour to subvert and the ridiculous in the heroic.
