MFA in Fine Art

These paintings deal with a combined approach to illusion, response and composition. Executed in a careful palette, each painting makes reference to its mode of construction, indicating depth through the handling of flat colour, glazes and oil mediums. The paintings seem to manifest a world-like sensibility where, despite their cropped appearance and relatively small size, the fight for presence and ownership envelopes each canvas. Giving particular attention to mark-making and gesture, the paintings begin to suggest something secure, but as the act of looking unfolds a spirited kind of disruption ensues. To this end, the paintings exist for themselves when apparent understanding breaks down.
