Painting’s capacity to record observations of the visual world, but always with a subjective tint, is the foundation of my practice. My work explores intimacy in the home environment, and what it means for spaces to take on layers of meaning in the form of nostalgia and identity. Taking inspiration from the mundane scenes we surround ourselves with in times of comfort and routine, I acknowledge how these settings can hold emotional value beyond their use, and how spaces can be viewed through eyes of nostalgia. The inclusion of pattern is representative of the routine and monotony of daily life, but also a nod to the abstract experiences felt in thoughts and dreams. The use of red references the red shadows of analogue photographs and the rose tint of a fond gaze.
