The focus of my practice is ideals of identity, femininity, discarded objects, images and surreal environments.. These artworks investigate interpersonal relationships and our need for social interaction against conflicting relationships or context. The appearing scenes satisfy the viewer's lust for a narrative concept by activating our personal database of memories which results in our own experience of reflection upon the image. To question ourselves - what relationship is taking place before us? My aim of these images is to question the ranking of identity and authority within a changing and fast paced society..
I explore this ideal through methods of abstraction using ephemera and photographic images, physically manipulating the scale and fragmenting the forms through the use of transparencies. I work intensively upon the images, almost to a point of destruction, and then layer and juxtapose conflicting images combined with elements of drawing, collage, painting and printmaking on a variety of surfaces.
