Within my work, I observe how changing daylight transforms spaces through elongated shadow forms. The focus of my practice is the translation of light and shadow within spaces possessing a cinematic quality into textured mark making and more recently this theme is extended through photography and filmmaking. The construction of space is made with sensitivity to materiality, imitating visual moments containing both harsh and subtle light. My main body of work is often process-led which allows for a controlled restriction of information by removing detail, abstracting each space that would usually be regarded as something ordinary or routine. Materials are used as a tool for creating visual noise, where quieter moments exist within subtle changes in texture. By abstracting the original space, I am able to capture the mood without the need for explicit definition. My work asks the viewer to look a little differently at the moments that pass them by, and notice how interaction with light plays a huge role in how a place can be perceived.
