My works often emerge from the physical act of painting and engagement with materials – crushing, dragging, sweeping, holding, pressing, amongst other instinctive movements and motions. The larger-scale abstractions begin as pure movement and evolve into explorations of embodied experience and the complex terrain of human relationships. Through movement and often to the point of exhaustion, I explore the tension between control and release, the deliberate and the unconscious. It is a physical act and a response driven by political consciousness that engages in questions of power, control, intimacy, desire, consumption, autonomy.

Othertimes, my practice extends beyond painting into performance and installation where the body directly confronts structures of power and systems of control. The gestural language developed in my paintings finds new expression in these works that challenge the viewer to consider their own relationship to intimacy, power, desire, consumption, sexual autonomy, the workplace, technology, the media and societal structures at large.
