Language is written into our bodies. I fill them with colour, light, and pathos as an expression of life’s complexity. Their disembodied nature in my paintings are a reflection of my own sense of separation from the self in an alienating world. 

Likewise, the pastel abstracts begin as frottage and are my non-verbal conversations with space and place. They beckon the viewer to lose themselves in their flickering colour-scapes and their memory of touch. In them, the body is absent but implied. They sit outside of myself whilst reflecting back at me, a core of what it is to be – in a singular moment – to exist.
