"I really enjoy mixing photography and gestural mark making in my prints and 'Tras Bambalinas' is a good example of this. I think the dry point frame brings energy and a certain warmth to the black and white photographic etching in the middle."

"This frame is a particularly special find - I love the layers and tiny details, especially against the simplicity of the painting itself. The little flash of gold leaf brings a sense of magic to the finished object, like an ancient relic."

"These works continue my series of butter paintings - still lives commenting on my own here and now. Block-like phones buzz beneath solidified pots of flowers as if the scene is sculpted from butter, terracotta clay or charcoal. They are painted across these last summer months, reflecting on the duality of our domestic lives and the intensity of our world."

"Listening closely to half-muffled words, creating narratives out of double (even triple) meanings."

"I love that this piece is made from warm golden clay I brought back from Spain, featuring painted motifs inspired by details found in La Bisbal d’Empordà, a town known for its ceramics."

"I adore the softness of pattern and colour in this patched together landscape."

"When I was creating ‘Held in Place’ I was thinking of how we can have very little movement / freedom in our lives. These two vases are still, they’d be still anyway but there is an added block of red at their base holding them solidly in place."
