Through painting and video I attempt to explore physical sensations
and psychic emotions stemming from personal experience, female identity,
sexuality and the presence of the body. The dynamics between myself and
a physical projection through gestural painting are revealed through
the growing connection between myself and the environment in which the
work develops. My practice draws on memories expressed in a visual
language worked out through visceral exploration of painterly surface,
suggestion and movement. This passage is at the root of a series of
paintings where I hope to reclaim the male dominated realms of
expressionist painting through female selfhood and a deeply corporeal
connection to the physicality of the materials I work with. It is
through this reclamation that I hope to convey my identity within the
expressive nature of the creative act. I see this as a ritualistic and
almost symbolic method of development where the a physical trace of an
artistic presence offers a lingering notion of the critical
self-reflection that takes place within my practice dealing with
elements of my personality, sexuality and desire.
