Four Hours Away Painting

B. 1997 Oxford, UK Based in London, UK Primarily, I am an oil painter and ceramicist. I tend to focus on the interplay between the physical sensations of my materials and the raw emotions I experience in my daily life and personal relationships. My work draws upon the Early/High Mediaeval period and folklore in providing subjects that are romanticised and also comforting in their bold figurations and colourful origins. I find the drawing integral to the painting and often maintain the charcoal line in the final image in order to search for an immediacy and honesty to the works. I intend to reveal our aspirations, our desires and our fears. I enjoy being able to create snippets of memories, particularly those quiet unsaid moments, and framing phrases and lyrics to this effect - clinging onto the edge.
