Artist Statement
The unconscious mind accounts for approximately 95% of total brain activity, serving as a dynamic archive of experiences, memories, and associative patterns that shape our perception, decision-making, and behaviour. It also connects us as humans on a deeper level across cultures through our collective unconscious.
My practice is rooted in the expressive potential of painting, using abstraction to access and explore aspects of the unconscious. Inspired by Jung’s theory of Individuation, I adopt an impulsive and instinctive approach to image making, working within flow state. The visual language developed from these paintings is extended into print, installation, sculpture and mural work allowing unconscious experiences to take on a physical presence and exist as symbols and beacons of this unconscious space.
