Orange Smile Painting

I am fascinated by subjectivity, temporality and the limitations of human perception. My work explores and celebrates these themes and their emotional correlates through the indexical application of colour and line. The practice exists in the creation of icons, monuments, memos and totems, utterances and observations, experiential markers, witnesses to the moments of my life, slices of personal history as momentary refractions of the human condition. I hope to convey a deep appreciation for the immensity of existence and the potentiality of consciousness. Typically, each piece emerges over the course of weeks, months, sometimes years, so it becomes a practice in itself, a ritual, a reflection, and a meditation on what it means to be. Each completed piece is an immersion in the present, a rich evocation of the experience of being, and a material celebration of the beauty of presence, awareness, engagement, life.
