My art practices centre around painting and drawing; conceptually they are rooted in ideas of narrative, at ways of looking and the privileging of sight.

I explore ideas of the daily narrative of our lives in this world through fragmentary, familiar and unfamiliar perspectives – with an obsessive attention to technique in the eventual resolution of the work, so that the subject of a work is both its content and manner in which the content is portrayed.

Fragmentation has been a continuous thread as a way of depicting the experience of living in the world: necessarily incomplete, always suggestive of an extended frame beyond. This, in terms of actual execution, takes many forms: fracturing the image; the incorporation of fragmented images into the single frame; painting a part of the image/ narrative onto single frames; or selecting a fragment of the image to render.
