Flirting With The Edge
Founded in the principles of Surrealism and automatic drawing, this body of work displays the awareness of thoughts and streams of consciousness. Made through a depressive period, the paintings and preparatory ink drawings hold narratives through use of symbols and dynamic compositions - illuminating a childhood fascination in specific shapes and forms. The symbols seemed to develop so far as to become a personal vocabulary of distress whilst remaining calming, playful and musical - the darkness, trapped beneath its surface.
