Art Changes Lives

My visual arts practice can be most accurately viewed as a point of pivot between society, culture and my own inner questions of what it is to be human in the changing world that I experience.

I have for most of my arts practice been interested in forms of masking and covering and the visual experience of things out of place. In my work, I like to experiment with boundaries. Be that boundaries of body, clothing, the environment.

My work is informed by philosophies of phemenology and ideas derived from mysticism. I am looking to depict the things just out of reach, the shadow, the wind that billows through cloths, the vandal who has just left the scene, the family that has abandoned their house.

For me, the lost, the forgotten, the left behind, are all things to be cherished for the space that remains. This space, seemingly empty but most definitively not, is what my art seeks to capture.

I see myself as a feminist artist and I always bring to my work in some way my experience of gender in society. As a humanist, I seek to make visible the experience of being human that we all share.
