My practice is studio-based and process driven, working primarily with painting which sits between abstraction and figuration. The work explores fluidity in the context of memory, bicultural identity and language. I paint on a variety of surfaces and often make my own paints, building a body of research on materiality and the tactile. I am
interested in showing works in alternative formats and often play with how they are shown or grouped together. The paintings have a strong focus on colour and use framing mechanisms and repetitive motifs derived from film scenes, personal memories and the built environment.
