Fragments

“My work focuses on how we recognise and categorise visual images, with particular emphasis on questions of scale. I’m interested in the difference between recall and recognition.

 

I make paintings and drawings from small-scale models that I build. This allows me to investigate the limits of recognition, while at the same time making work that visually scrutinises my subject matter. […]

 

Fragments, a series of small-scale pencil drawings from 2015 approaches the theme OHN|MACHT in terms of balance within the structure of each of the drawings; in each piece I have combined very different ways of using my chosen medium in order to experiment with how this can control and disrupt the viewer’s gaze.”
