“My painting practice is concerned with the narratives of history and power that are entangled into contemporary life. My paintings are often sourced from everyday encounters and environments, but relaying these occurrences through painting connects these encounters and spaces with the weight of history that continues to determine and direct contemporary society. I am concerned with how historical discourses of power and meaning inform our contemporary reality, and that influence and direct our behaviours, identities, and ideas within it.”
