‘I’m predominantly visual and tactile in my appreciation of the world and produce art that appeals to both senses. MA studies exposed me to post-18th century Western art and the artists whose work I’ve found most interesting visually and contextually have been from the early 20th century period of European art.
I produce work that is sensual, generally contemporary in nature and less fanatically political than some of these earlier movements although I’m aware that once again, machine-inspired visual references are becoming controversial, given our more eco-centric view of the world.
I aim to convey my subject’s individuality, interests or achievements; I’m fascinated by how, in contemporary society, people often use such things as an armour protecting them from closer personal scrutiny.’
