paintings
These large scale paintings transform spaces. Fascinating juxtapositions of opposing textures in maximalist patterned landscapes abound. There might be shiny passages of gold leaf traversing across matte rugged concrete, or sequins buried in venetian plaster. They are archeological studies, inspired by the impression of time on everyday urban spaces. Graffiti on a hundred year old underpass wall which has been destroyed and created anew, or a tattered layered silk remnant reimagined as pattern stamped on wax. They are magical to engage with from varying angles, and they transform into an entirely new painting as the light changes throughout the day and night.
Underpass
Underpass
Large in scale, this landscape of an underpass resonates with the history of urban passages. Gold flecks set off the matte rich sculptural texture of the concrete. Graffiti languages are unearthed, layer upon layer speak to one another as the passage of time combines them. The rich depth of the art shifts as the light changes and the viewer moves about the work.
