About the exhibition:
The work in this exhibition is comprised of drawing, painting and print.
Although the works traverse different styles, they are all essentially psychological self portraits which enable the unconscious to take concrete form.
I draw from art history, film, literature, music and personal experience to create images with deep personal meaning.
The meanings and visual codes embedded in the work are not explicit to the viewer who must create thier own interpretation based on thier own experiences and psychological states.
“There is a strange music in my soul that not even my throat can sing”
