'Rooted' Painting

I'm a painter based in Nottingham, UK. I work primarily with acrylics but often incorporate other media - collage, transferred imagery, crayon, graphite, oil stick - into my pieces. My work is fuelled by a desire for connection and understanding, and employs the human form to convey emotional states and facets of human interaction and communication. I often use asemic or largely illegible writing to suggest conversation and narrative. The figures too are purposefully ambiguous, both giving voice to the idea that we, as humans, are uncertain creatures and also allowing for audience projection and interpretation.
