I'm interested in how the stories we tell re-jig  depending on the threads we pull.  Our stories about things as banal as what happened yesterday or as important as History are constantly in flux, 

 

What I love about art is how viewers search for a coherent, meaningful  story in the marks and colours - and artists keep pulling the strings.

 

As an artist I delve into this quest.  Working with paint, found ephemera  and created materials, I work to excavate and weave visual stories. I'd like the resulting work to be like poetry; to invite connections, but resist a single, settled reading. 

​

This process​ draws on a lifelong interest in both Art and Literature; in the  ideas, materials, compositions, techniques and history - all of which play with in the work.
