Screens
I work with paper because is has a memory. Every material paper is touched by or lies next to, makes an impression. It has warmth and is easily bruised, like skin.

My current collages in paper, are made up of many separate drawings, prints and paintings inspired by the electronic screen.

Ubiquitous in our lives, we stare into electronic screens everyday, looking into them for information and distraction. We are chained to them but they give us freedom. They are the windows into our virtual lives, the lives in which we can change ourselves and alter how we relate to each other.

The electronic screens in my work are drawn as their simplest forms; four-sided shapes connected by wires. The marks I use are unrefined and the paint strokes raw, the antithesis of our increasingly digitized lives. The separate works on paper are cut, stuck and pieced together, like parts on a circuit board, making larger works, more than the sum of their parts.
