Artist Statement
As a studio-based artist, I use observations from my working environment and from the broader processes of material production as points of departure. For example, the repeated rolling and unrolling of linen during manufacturing, storage, or transport becomes a gesture I reintroduce into my practice. By applying diluted paint while manipulating the linen in this way, patterns and traces appear that often escape my control. Only at a later stage—through cropping, cutting, and framing—do I re-claim the image and give it a defined form.
This interplay between control and unpredictability lies at the core of my practice. It allows me to question the relationship between process and outcome, and to explore how material behaviour can shape the final work.
