My current work seems to be about the insufficiency of self-portraiture to capture someone’s true likeness. The images of myself are only partial. From briefly glancing at them, I wonder what assumptions or judgements someone might make about me?
Linked to this question is also the theme of memory and how people are remembered in the minds of others.
Previously, within my practice, I have been interested in notions of ritualism and the connections held between physical action and transcendence. I have worked predominantly in video and based works around the body to explore one's ability to exceed boundaries and move between different spaces. However, in recent times, I have found my practice to be increasingly informed by abstract themes drawn from psychodynamic theory, a changed marked by my decision to train as an Art Psychotherapist and having to undergo personal therapy myself. With this in mind, my work looks to express something of my own perspectives on the therapeutic encounter and the necessity for certain boundaries that enable us to describe and understand our conscious and unconscious experiences in a safe and therapeutic way
