On her Knees Painting

I am a painter living and working in London. My work hovers between abstraction and figuration. I am interested in a sense of body, space and liquidity, a fugitive, unfixed quality. Forms float, come together and pull apart. Boundaries are broken. I want to convey things in the process of becoming and collapsing to give a sense of the instability that reflects the uncertainty of our times and the forces that impact upon us, and our bodies. I think of the canvas as a patina, pouring paint, creating layers through which forms emerge and recede. There is a sense of absence and presence, veiling and unveiling. Chance and accident are utilised. I would like to conjure a sense of universal life - 'a life' that escapes from our knowing, that is beyond judgement, ideas of identity. I am interested in art as 'experience' and would like my work to go beyond words, into the realm of something unknown, sensed but not understood.
