The Stars Painting

Since childhood, I have been obsessed with paper cut-outs and fashion magazines. My grandmother was a dressmaker who created fashionable suits and dresses from her own patterns. I feel that my work also follows a pattern - parts coming together like a mosaic in which I try to create harmony from a multitude of scraps, eventually finding a rhythm within repetition and patterns that resemble textile designs. My work evokes a carefree, dreamlike landscape, full of beauty, fullness of colour and textures. I take pleasure in breathing life into the idols of old movies and re-imagining them in scenes of my own making.
