Contemplation

I begin each piece with a sense of what I’m searching for, but the narrative often changes along the way. Layers are added, obscured, torn back and rebuilt until something unexpected and yet strangely familiar emerges.

There’s a mixture of knowing and surprise when the finished work seems to talk back to me, revealing a narrative I hadn’t consciously intended. The process is as much about discovery as it is about making.

Scratching the Surface

Half a century and counting. A career in fashion and branding has made this outpouring of work feel inevitable. My practice swings between idealism, survival and destruction, exploring the tension between how we present ourselves and how we really feel.

I find the process of making, tearing down and rebuilding cathartic. It allows me to challenge the perfectionism and expectations that have shaped so much of my working life. What began as a struggle with my own aesthetics has become a way of letting go, taking risks and embracing imperfection.

Making this work is very addictive, it’s all I really want to do!
