I am a recent graduate from the University of Leeds specialising in painting. Beginning with an abstraction of the human form framed by architectural features of an interior space, I question the threshold between the painterly mark and the creation of an entire image. By manipulating the viscosity and transparency of the paint, mark-making, materiality and complementary colours become the basis of my paintings. Thick coats of paint conceal, while light glazes and scratching reveal what is underneath, creating both an illusion of depth through layering and drawing attention to the painting’s inherent flatness.
