"I currently make and draw works with materials that carry or extend an implied meaning about their value. Theories of Fiction and Non-Fiction influence my current working practices."
Painting is a legacy of a golden age, an idealized veneer, a glamorous edition of reality, Crafts are considered low art, remnants of an industrialized society's working practice and yet this is where the reality of Non-Fiction lies for me."
