Currently looking at interpersonal relationships, my practice aim to blur the lines between lived experience and forgotten memories, creating an amalgamation of physical and ghost-like objects within one scene. I use the materiality of the mundane as a canvas to work from, resulting in added context to the paintings in a more intimate way. With both the material of the canvas, and content of the paintings, the viewer is invited to read into my works, creating their own personal narratives where the inactive space lies.
