“When the paint is dry my work is just beginning”. I create paintings without brushes using paint that has dried before I manipulate it. I borrow techniques from sculpture, collage, and textiles, in order to exploit the inherent flexibility in the dried material. I am interested in creating works that shift across boundaries not quite belonging to any single genre. My intricately detailed creations involve many hours of meticulous cutting and layering. Through them I subtly explore themes of instability, invisibility, and freedom. My background of repeated international moves has informed this desire to deconstruct and reinvent my work. Continually breaking ties and beginning again is instrumental in the way in which I handle the paint. Ideally, I aim to generate conversation about the nature of painting and to present a different way in which to view it.
