Primarily utilising cinematic source imagery from obscure 1950s-90s b-movies, I address the intangible nature of memory and the shifting impressions of lived moments. Re-contextualising women from these sources, the paintings form a series of anonymised figures occupying fractured and fabricated environments. Liberated from their original medium and plains of existence, they are absorbed into the painted realm I has been developing throughout my oeuvre; their context reconstructed and their world shaped around them, they act as cyphers to the experienced - to be glimpsed and examined.

This piece is about reflection on self, of headspace, of versions of ourselves that once existed. less
