Bachelor of Fine Arts (Painting)

Crunchy, colourful and crude; my practice mixes homespun materials with expressive painting techniques to shape a curious visual grammar. A fusion of artistic methods from throughout history collide in the studio in a search for evocative responses that reveal our archaic appetite for creation.

These paintings mimic the shapes of underground granaries. Dug into the earth to store grain, these pits can only be viewed from above. Encasing contents stored below the surface, like granaries these paintings bottle up substances that cannot be seen.
