I am a Redruth-based painter whose practice explores perception, ambiguity, and the material process of image-making in response to contemporary culture and my life as a woman, artist, mother and housewife. I resist the fixed and perfect nature of digital imagery: figures, torso’s, birds and animals shift and merge creating unstable, unpredictable forms. Through layering, scraping, and reworking, my paintings emerge through a process of excavation, where forms are discovered rather than imposed. I work intuitively and by process, the paintings retaining the physical history of their making like scars.
