I make collages that manifest themselves as drawings, assemblages, installations, film or prints.
I appropriate images or text from different sources and break them up. I reconstruct them into something new that is then further disrupted using layering, colour, graphic line, reflection, distortion or shifting perspectives.
‘She writes herself, she dreams, she invents new worlds’ (Helene Cixous). The new worlds each of my pieces creates are temporary or ephemeral, poised between beauty and dystopia. False, but containing a grain of truth.
The work investigates identity and emotions, lost and abandoned places or things, and power, control and desire.
