I’ve been intrigued over the years by how matter becomes movement, how texture can convey sound, and how colour imbues feelings, wordlessly. For me, water is a source, not a resource, with its own presence. It holds things. My art is shaped by waves of memory where I search for the balance between movement and stillness.

Adding plaster to my work was a reaction to my fear of the blank canvas and turned out to be a new language, as well as a method of giving a voice to my paintings before the introduction of colour. My paintings are sometimes described as meditative explorations of form and feeling, expressing what the water holds.
