Biografia

Inspired by the age-old theme of the body, my artistic practice has always involved, in some form, the basic interaction between mind and hand through drawing. Often using my own body as subject, I am continually fascinated by the expressive potential of the hands, feet and skin. They are tough yet sensitive, dexterous and yet somehow vulnerable, and highly demonstrative of complex emotions. In constantly wanting to challenge the capacity of my drawing, my practice has evolved to incorporate not only more traditional works on paper but also ephemeral installation works. Using techniques such as projection and drawing directly onto the walls and floor, I have been exploring the use of alternative surfaces and spaces. I am continually seeking ways in which to combine these ideas and bridge the gap between my work in two and three dimensions.
