Vessels - Shadows in shelly waters

In this series of works 'Vessels' represents the heart, mind and body and contains stories of emotion and treasure stored within. As the containers are open with no lid, the innermost sanctuary and outer environment organically merge into a shared story. Deconstructing and layering with oil paint and sometimes local textures of wood and stone references the land. My paintings show subtleties with a new complexity.

ARTIST STATEMENT
My artwork is a laying of images from my design practices, mixing patterns which appear in my vivid imagination, before recording ideas in a sketchbook which come to life on a canvas. Repeating elements creates a sense of rhythm, and explores the emotional tension within spaces, whilst balancing composition and creating harmony. You may find me in a heart stopping moment amongst traffic, engaged by a new palette of colours in the bitumen, or for hours staring into a river where the water changes reflections over shapes below the surface. Photography and painting is a creative release where I deeply connect, freely playing and forgetting time.
