Painting onto baby wipes!! - Such a fantastic result, very outside-the-box in terms of alternative mediums

"This series embraces the all too familiar struggle with time. To balance the everyday necessities with the need to fulfil a creative urge and hold on to a sense of self."

Waiting 

"You wait and time slows down, you notice the small things and they become big. What you are waiting for doesn't matter, just enjoy the moment"

"These images began as old discarded family photos of people I had heard of or were a distant memory. I was intrigued by the way each photo had been documented with a date, names, and a place written on the back. 

After degrading and changing the photos I projected them back into their nearest place of origin and so the memories were brought into the present, giving them a new life."

"Between the space there is energy; there are things we see, and there are things that we feel, things that are invisible when we feel harmony and a deep unknowing and unknowing of our time here."

"My work explores concepts relating to the destruction and reconstruction of identity. This process uses a mixture of traditional and modern mediums in pursuit towards abstraction. More recently, landscape has been the main focus of my practice. Rather than drawing directly from the subject, I rely principally on the free-flowing processes of memory and creative imagination to re-imagine the landscape.
