I feel it under my nails. Storms, earthquakes, waves, and longings. Moving through my hands. Touching the flesh of the cotton, the paint, the crayons sticking to my fingers. Dealing with issues of control. Shifting over the skin of the surface. Untame my brush, follow its bristles. Remember. Forget. Tear it open, stitch it back. A crack, a frayed edge.

Painting begins with sensations in my body and restless hands, making physical gestures central to my work. Scribbles, extended brushstrokes, and mark-making capture movement and presence. Accidental spots and open spaces hold absence as a contrast to the turbulent mass. Layers, textures, stitches, and textiles translate tactility and tangibility. Bright and vibrant colors lift up the impulsive bursts.

Found in broken walls, city noise, nature creeping through concrete, abandoned buildings, traces of graffiti, rhythms of bricks and tiles, lost notes, things left behind, skies.

Explores the relevance of touch, sensory engagement, and ways to translate physical presence and materiality through painting as a necessary counterweight to a world increasingly shaped by digitalisation.

From soil to sky.
