My multidisciplinary artworks stem from a poetry writing practice which is interpreted upon fantastical realist painting.

Childhood related symbols and imagery are used in contrast to a modern day dystopia. 

I am very interested in story telling: How popular tales and sayings are passed down generationally orally and immortalised in fairytales to tell people, from a young age, how to behave in society through the 'moral of the story'. By using characters that are easily recognisable from our most creative and vulnerable years of life, we can subvert social interactions as a critique to how we act with each other. 

If the surreal is a way of treating these subliminal social messages and real world happenings inherent to storytelling, then this fantastical approach can also be applied to the material world. 

The use of found objects in my work comes from an animistic point of view of attributing life and meaning to the surroundings, the object, or even the spoken word: An appreciation for materiality, writing and past oral traditions.
