The dimensions are infinite - both mathematical and poetic.
Memories make us what we are, like marks on the canvas. We are journeying through time, but our fleeting present can hardly be grasped and disappears before our eyes, becoming dreamlike, a void, as we pass through time, flying too fast.
Oil, spray paint and ink combine to produce rich and sensual textures. Geometric lines and random shapes are scored into the paintings’ rough surfaces. Layer on layer has built up and peeled back to evoke our relationship with the universe, its many dimensions and abstract spaces that are separate from the physical space we inhabit.
These metaphorical marks affect our relationships with others – in some cases a connection can be so profound that it can propel us into another dimension in time and space.
