I indulge my own geeky love of history to research different periods of time. Strange sitters are caught by my brush with their unimpressed beady eyes look back at us. These are imagined historical figures, the ancestors we never had. I set up compositions that pay homage and satirise paintings of different eras. These are rectangular windows into an alternate version of past to our own… one that just happens to be a little less normal. Each are caught in the middle of their own story, their own whimsical fairy tale, leaving you to wonder about the world they live in.
