Smoke I, shortlisted for the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2018

---

I am interested in elusive narratives and difficult-to-grasp surfaces and edges.  My processes remain ultimately painterly - underpinned by an epigrammatic approach to an often-elusive surface and ungraspable narrative. I have an eclectic approach to working, finding media to suit different ideas — from paint, wax,  graphite powder and smoke, to text, video, installation and assemblage. Recent work is influenced by old black and white news footage of bold young women playing by the sea, collecting eggs from sea cliffs or dancing on overhead girders; and a return to thoughts on female agency in The Odyssey – not-so-new stories from recurrent themes.
