"While there is no one overriding theme in my work, common thematic elements include the ambiguity of violence in film, the aggressive nature of globalisation and its effects.
My work is an ongoing investigation into the dialogue between film and painting with a focus primarily on scenes of violence. Intentionally isolating the representational image from its context I use painting as a means to create new environments and narratives.
Recently I have been exploring the possibilities of painting and its structures. Deconstructing form and colour from the canvas, looking at new methods of presentation and reconstruction of the medium and its functions."
