‘A key component of my practice is the construction of forms and space through processes of layering and removal. Elements from different moments coincide and collide in unexpected ways, creating chance encounters through which images, spaces and ideas begin to emerge. The painting becomes a process of discovery: a compelling journey without a predetermined end. I find this uncertainty far more rewarding than following a preordained route, allowing the work to develop through its own internal logic.

The traces of marks and forms that remain on the surface become a kind of residue — evidence of a human presence within a landscape’.
