She was thinking quiet thoughts... |

In a very personal way I have been painting, stitching and assembling in an attempt to air my concerns at the violations of privacy and over-protection in society. Images of claustrophobic city settings and cutout solitary figures are caught in moments of contemplation, anxiety or in mid-conversation with unseen counterparts. These works play with the vulnerability of the individual in city or intimate home-life situations.
I fill antique photo albums with paintings and poetry where I record feelings and memories – a daily meditation. The works wrestle with the need to express and explore my subconscious as well as the desire to hide those same things - to confess and clear the air or to lock them away. I cradle my thoughts in little hideaways or secret drawers, in history and poetry. My work contains secrets, declarations and protests.
I paint mainly in oils on wood, canvas and paper. I assemble pieces with stitching (which piercingly binds my meandering thoughts together), silver leaf (because it tarnishes), gold leaf (because it doesn’t), dictionaries, bronze and fabric. I cherish the beautiful, the delicate, the detailed, the organic and the non-violent but I often paint my experience with violence, despair, the poor and the war-torn. |
