Archive
This archive brings together earlier bodies of work that trace the development of a visual language, with some works addressing themes of identity, relationships and social tension more directly, and others establishing the formal and material concerns that continue in the current practice.
TEXT WORK
Earlier works that engage more explicitly with themes of identity, relationships and social tension, marking the formation of a visual language that continues through the current work. Statements were informed by the True Selves Project, initiated in the 2020 lockdown period. These works operate within a coded system in which each letter corresponds to a specific colour. The compositions are generated through adherence to this rule, allowing structure to emerge from constraint and chance. In later pieces, the code is intentionally disrupted.
FIGURATIVE WORK
Figurative work began appearing alongside text in exhibitions from 2021. These paintings position the figure within controlled spatial systems. The body begins to function less as subject and more as structure — a shift that anticipates the later 'Bathers' series.
'QUILT' SERIES
The 'quilt' works investigate modular organisation and the subjectivity of colour. Units are arranged through repetition and variation, establishing a system-based approach that re-emerges in later geometric paintings.
EARLY ABSTRACTIONS ( - 2019)
Artworks move from textile to painted medium. These paintings mark the emergence of a modular compositional system. Repetition and spatial control shape the formal language that continues in later work.
WOVEN TEXTILE WORKS
These works establish a material and compositional logic based on repetition and structure. The emphasis on constructed surface forms the foundation for later integration of textile within painting.
