Home is Home, and everything else is Not Home.
My work is about Place. For me, no space is permanent and home is not a fixed entity. My paintings, constructed by combining my own memories with family photographs, sourced imagery and historical documentation, treat time as non linear, envisioning collective encounters with spaces that encourage contemplation and reflection. Using landscape as a ubiquitous device for investigating my personal history, I explore the human desire to connect, to long for shelter and to belong. Through exploration of landscape in a nostalgic way, I search for the links between identity and nativity.
