My work explores how layering can construct alternative ways of seeing a subject. Working primarily with oil and acrylic, I build paintings gradually, with layers of varying opacity that remain visible to different degrees beneath the surface.
I usually begin with a subject or idea, but through the process of painting the work becomes increasingly intuitive. I’m interested in the tension between intention and chance, which allows forms and relationships to emerge over time.
As much of the process is non-verbal, the completed work can remain partly unfamiliar even to me, revealing connections that I only recognise afterwards.
The works remain open to other readings, allowing viewers to form their own associations.
