Painting "The Breaking Shift" (archival collection)
I am an interdisciplinary artist exploring the inner world: our emotions, contradictions, fears, desires and transformations.
My work begins with lived experience. I follow feelings, questions and ideas, allowing them to take shape through painting, poetry, performance, film or forms I have yet to explore. I don't begin with a medium, but with something to express.
Through abstraction, symbolism, colour, language and experimentation, I explore the relationship between our inner and outer worlds, and the ever-changing process of becoming.
The work transforms as I do.
Painting
Working primarily with acrylics, I approach painting as an intuitive process. I begin with a feeling rather than a predetermined image, allowing forms, colours and compositions to emerge as I work. Instead of planning the outcome, I follow the movement of the painting, responding to what appears and allowing the work to reveal itself along the way. Each piece becomes an exploration of something that cannot necessarily be anticipated or explained beforehand.
Poetry & Writing
I write poetry as a way of exploring thoughts, emotions and questions that don't always have clear answers. My writing moves between the personal and the universal, touching on fear, faith, identity, vulnerability and the contradictions of being human. I often write poems instead of descriptions for my paintings.
Story-driven Performance
A form of live performance combining conversational storytelling, humour, theatrical expression and original writing. Moving fluidly between spoken narrative and poetry, it explores the absurdities, contradictions and complexities of being human.
Experimental & Multidisciplinary Work
I work across forms and disciplines, often combining different mediums to create something that doesn't fit neatly into one category. This can take the shape of film, conceptual sculpture, movement, aerial performance, sound or unexpected combinations of image, body and text. I am interested in following an idea beyond the boundaries of what I already know how to do.
Artistic Direction & Curation
I develop and curate art experiences, exhibitions and collaborative projects, both independently and with other artists. My work includes concept development, creative direction, artist collaboration, production and the practical realisation of events. I am interested in creating experiences where different artistic voices, disciplines and spaces come together to form something greater than the sum of their parts.
