Abstract
As a painter, I am interested in the way inanimate objects call to us, appealing to our senses and inviting us to appreciate their materiality and particular charms - pattern, colour, texture or story. Within the historical filed, I situate my practice in the tradition of still life painting, especially rhopography, which art historian Norma Bryson articulates is, "the depiction of those things which lack importance, the unassuming material base of life that 'importance' constantly overlooks". I am interested in raising the value of ordinary objects.
During my Megalo residency in 2021, I experimented with remaking my paintings and collages into lithographs and screen prints. I was interested to see what was lost and found in translation from one medium to another. I played with increasing and diminishing the scale of the prints and reduced colour palette. This body of work shows the process of this working between painting and printmaking techniques in finished and unfinished works, fails and wins, studio experiments and the objects that 'call me'.
