"Of late I have been thinking about how to depict the complexity of the world and the systems within it. How the small events of our lives echo with the wider world of current and historical events. I have been making paintings of every bedroom I have ever lived in. I am creating these spaces from memory, a spectre passing through space and recurring through time. I have chosen the bedroom as the site of some of our most personal memories. It is a recollection and rendering of furniture, fittings, and magnolia paint that will be familiar to many. I hope to evoke personal, architectural, and cultural memories, and how unfixed these memories are."
