Recently my work has dealt with issues of attachment and loss in the series of works on paper ’Now that I can no longer touch you’, the series of paintings ‘a split in the grain’ and the text piece DEATHTALK.
In a new series of paintings - the result of three years intense involvement in drawing and a journey back to a place from my childhood I thought lost to me -
the erasure of marks – and the gaps between - become physical presences – what I cannot articulate becomes the place of potential, painful, poetic and dynamic.
As Darian Leader says in his book the New Black ‘we have to go outside ourselves to get back inside.’
