I focus on the internal frictions of family, relationships and humanity in the everyday - news papers and magazines providing an endless source of anonymous people, celebrities, unbelievable stories of everyday life, uncomfortable histories and dystopic truths. I want to isolate exactly what I have seen in the original image and heighten the inherent energies of the macabre, ethereal and simultaneously the sense of fun.
The ‘themes’ if any, that I am currently preoccupied with are childhood and sexuality, with the rise in, and social awareness of, child abuse, paedophilia and a growing tolerance and re evaluation of the traditional themes of good and evil and right and wrong. This stems from questions of identity and the constant, in your face, revaluation of what the human is capable of both in isolation and as a pack, currently and historically.
My work has been described as haunting, unsettling and ultimately emotional but I hope to present work that is both disturbing and beautiful to look at.
