“The dialogue with the work and the space around it continually changes. Whether it be the work in the studio having a messier feel or being placed in an interior type gallery it could hold a homely relatable feel or if it is placed in a traditional white cube space it gives it a ‘finished’ feeling. There is definitely a connection with the ideas of still life and merging that with abstraction. Pushing the painting in ways to create ambiguity is something I enjoy. I like when the viewer is not necessarily sure what they are looking at. People have mistaken jackets for mermaids tails, ladders for rollercoasters and chairs for sinks.”
