My practice explores the presence of absence within overlooked, everyday spaces.

Each work begins with a bruised surface painted onto linen – a foundational layer that evokes fading skin, mist or a ghostly haze. Upon this, I build the image from minute, laborious lines. This method of accumulation invests ordinary scenes – a toppled traffic cone, an empty road – with a psychological charge, rendering them both minimal from a distance and intensely detailed upon closer inspection.

Recurring motifs act as traces of passage. Labyrinths, emerging in recent work, suggest roots or neural pathways beneath a scene. Faint, solitary figures or the echo of footsteps suggest a recent departure. The foundational bruise serves as both a mark of tenderness and a metaphor for transient, fading memory.

My paintings function as memories themselves – both ephemeral and fragile, yet at times vivid and all too present.
