My work explores the complexities of places. I investigate how places are shaped by their physical characteristics, the built environment and social interactions. I chart the intersection of place, memory and connection, often transforming overlooked details of everyday surroundings. I investigate how we form relationships with places, inviting viewers to consider how lived in spaces become the foundation for shared experiences and memory. Recently, I have been using documentary photographs to create a series of drawings and paintings exploring the suburban neighbourhood where I grew up. I turn my observations into works that highlight the tension between the comfortable, the curated and the mundane. They aim to be uncanny, nostalgic and seek to uncover the visual language and hidden charm of suburbia.
