ABOUT

I am drawn to stories – to people who carry them, places that hold them, and the traces they leave behind. The smooth and flawless hold little interest for me. I look for what bears the marks of life. For this reason, I prefer materials that resist control and can surprise me – thick layers of paint, charcoal, ink, and torn paper, stitched or pieced together in new ways. Photography is equally important to my practice. It brings concrete moments and places into the work – visual anchors within an abstract landscape.

​

Through layer upon layer of paint, drawing, collage, photography, and other materials, something begins to emerge. I build up and break down, add and scrape away. Earlier traces are not necessarily erased, but become part of what follows. My work develops in a dialogue between the recognisable and the abstract, between what can be told and what can only be sensed.

I am interested in how memories change, how places become embedded in us, and how fragments can hold stories larger than what we are able to see. For me, making art is about discovering, preserving and transforming such traces – not to tell a finished story, but to open a space where the viewer can linger, make connections, and perhaps find stories of their own.
