I am an artist that paints. I use oil paint on different-sized surfaces and gleaned imagery to create a string of affinities that allude to psychological states and qualities. Currently, I am preoccupied with subjects relating to gardens, such as my ugly Bunnings pots, half an umbrella stand, snails (land and sea) and my cat. The concept of the Lacanian knot is useful for understanding this approach – as being receptive to slippage and failure. My practice takes place on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri people.
