My work is based in issues relating to a nomadic identity and questions of place and belonging. I make abstract figurative paintings and objects filtered through a personal system of symbolic references. As a multimedia artist I find the right materials to suit the concept, as the meaning is intertwined within that relationship.

I often use materials from my environment: cardboard, ash, and fabric to address particular issues about existing in the in-between, as they are materials that signify temporality and transformation. Paint allows me to sensually locate and translate experience into matter. I paint in layers and tread gently towards the image, as I am skeptical of the image and in constant negotiation with what to leave and what to wipe away. I abstract the figure as a means to deroute from a linear narrative, to open up solid signifiers and leave room for an open reading of the image.
