My work focuses on the discarded elements of our visual landscape; places and objects that are misused, displaced or unloved, yet still exist within urban society. 

 

Through a process of collecting, drawing and painting, I create work that seeks to question the impact that decay has on the people who are surrounded by it. The material I choose to paint or draw on is often found at or significant to the subject I seek to portray. I have used objects ranging from doors to hospital gowns as a canvas for my work, creating a new life and meaning for these objects and consequently, creating a new context for my work.
