How I select my subject matter

From an early age I have been interested in how subject matter can be distorted. As an artist I can see images as layers of colours… as puzzle pieces that can be separated, lifted, shifted and removed entirely.

I select my subject matter, materials and mediums to expose the layers within - the physical, and subconscious emotional. I use my tools as a method to draw the viewer closer to the image both internally and externally. 

Through my art, I hope to invoke a past memory, desire or a feeling of connection. My love of painting famous individuals and infrastructure is tied to this and how we somehow feel close to people and places that exist in a world outside our own.
