About
I am a portrait painter currently exploring blinds and curtains as a medium to disrupt viewers' perception and mediate collective memory through the loss of an image.
My practice is an exploration of the image as a threshold, using blinds and curtains as a medium to disrupt ways of viewing. The portraits become embedded into the surface, resulting in a ghostly image. Shifting between the visible and invisible as the scene blurs, I am concerned with challenging viewers' perception and mediating memory through the loss of an image. The work bends the boundaries of what acrylic paints can achieve when applied to different media as a tool to interrupt the painting. A negotiation occurs between the audience and the work as they are persuaded to move around the space in order to decipher more. This often results in one deviating from a traditional viewing position due to the trompe l'oeil qualities the art possesses.
