Things don’t have to make sense.

Things don’t have to be in the ‘right’ place.

 

A hijacker in stripy knickers appears as a riotous, disruptive presence that defies boundaries. She is slippery. Made up of a hybrid of languages –gestural painterliness, hard line cartooning, naturalistic figuration and total abstraction.

 

Figures rise out of a process that is open ended, provisional and experimental, ghosts made of incidental marks, spillages and negative spaces.

 

The feeling of nausea swooshing through me.

Being in my body. Things falling apart. The body not working. Upside down, leaking, discombobulated and out of control. Everything is going wrong.
