My practice explores memory as a lens for assimilating and healing displacement and trauma. I am drawn to the emotive, intimate, and often violent energies that emerge from memory, using gesture, colour, and line as vehicles to process past physical and emotional experiences. In this interplay, opposing sensations coexist in a bounded boundlessness, where chaotic urges are both corralled and disrupted by failed and broken gestures.

The many layers of paint and line leave a constant trace of becoming and erasure, inviting viewers to engage with the fluid, unbounded process of the painting coming into being. The history of each piece is revealed through its scarred traces, where fragile fragments of memory and place almost dissolve, but insist on reforming in a constant flow of cohesion and dispersion

I draw on themes of belonging, the female body, fertility and displacement, allowing them to permeate the surface, soaking and disrupting a sense of oneness. My creative interest lies in exploring the materiality of paint, colour, and line, translating them into a tangible embodiment within my work. The pieces evoke sensual undertones that often give rise to feelings of quiet desperation, tension, and grief.
