My works are riffs on random ideas and playful thoughts responding to this complicated world, a mess with confusion, conflict and horror. Drawing gives me a pause from the daily barrage of bad news. In using a multitude of colours and familiar geometric shapes in combination with meandering looping forms , I can escape into a calm place and be absorbed in a simple uncomplicated practice of making that provides moments to process deeper thoughts on the complexity of daily life. In this drawing, I’m contemplating ideas of contentment, joy and happiness, not referencing the tangible physical world , rather , inquisitively reflecting on how humans feel and how colours, shapes, patterns and forms can be uplifting, ruminative and harmonious.
