Mainly working on paper, I like to explore and reflect our screen based culture in a playful and instinctive way. Often contrasting the slickness of those online spaces with the roughness of unpredictable monotype printing and torn up collage; I’m interested in the pressures, the voyeuristic pleasures, and the isolation that often come along with the contemporary world. The aspirational images that bombard us and that we ourselves create. Watching a pool party that we aren’t invited to, therapy confessions, messy reality television relationships playing out as we watch on. In this series I have combined water- based ink monotypes with direct ink drawing. The pigment seeps out. It pools and drips. In these works, odd couples inhabit artificial tableaux-like scenes. Bathers, self-conscious in the spotlight; posturing and preening. Oddly disconnected but caught in a performative, relationship dance.
