The focus of my painting practice is based on the story of an image. What can animage portray? I choose a moment and deconstruct it, whether it is a photo or amemory. It does not matter, as the image is to be destroyed and turned into amonochrome depiction of black lines on white. From this position, I reconstruct the image, but with a passion absent from its original form. I infuse all of my past experience into the construction. An image is built with colour, showcasing an atmosphere of emotion. I focus on the character of characters, from their gaze to their position. My work uses colour to flow through their figures, creating tones of emotion and place within the scene. My reconstructions allow the viewer to become intimate with the scenario. An image is transformed into an experience. Like a memory, it is somewhat misty.
