Against the backdrop of the desert sky, the property garbage tip serves as a time capsule of worlds forgotten . The surreal shapes of forgotten junk emerge, their forms at once familiar and enigmatic, veiled in the mists of time. The past, present, and future converge in a seamless continuum.
With a heightened perception of the sensory, drawn from my own journey through illness, my works often appear as fragments of a larger narrative. Ranging from abstract to surreal I focus on light, colour and texture, creating illusions of depth and dimension through layering, blending and distorting shape, revealing our environment in fresh and unexpected ways. I allude to landscapes that are familiar, layers of colour and organic shapes give the work a sense of place, recognisable yet vieled.
