Artist's Statement
My paintings present a burst of memory, depicting a moment in time and have the potential to be viewed as a door to re-examine past events, inviting the viewer to be transported into a different time and space. References to my grandfather’s experience of being in the army during World War II are evident in the form of numbers, dates and descriptions. My paintings utilise abstract and figurative elements to explore fragmented memories and emotions. The figures in my paintings are often blurred and merge into their surroundings, allowing the viewer to interpret the painting in relation to their own experience. Body parts along with other objects appear in certain sections and disappear in others, creating a narrative with no ending or beginning.
