About the artist...
Recently my work has dealt with issues of attachment and loss in
the series of works on paper ’Now that I can no longer touch
you’, the series of paintings ‘a split in the grain’
and the text piece DEATHTALK.
I aim to bridge the gap between the private model of mourning and
the inter-subjective, public dimension - as in the work ‘Exquisite
Pain’ by Sophie Calle or as the psychoanalyst Ginette Raimbault
observed ‘What no one can understand about my pain, someone
can express in such a way that I can recognize myself in what I
cannot share.’
In a new series of paintings - the result of three years intense
involvement in drawing and a journey back to a place from my childhood
I thought lost to me - the erasure of marks – and the gaps
between - become physical presences – what I cannot articulate
becomes the place of potential, painful, poetic and dynamic.
As Darian Leader says in his book the New Black ‘we have to
go outside ourselves to get back inside.’
