Lining Up (2023) Acrylics on canvas, 58 x 46cm, 335€ VAT excluded
I explore notions of "home" and "belonging" through my painting practice. This exploration is centred around my own experience of space, as I find myself living in different parts of the world, away from the country where I was born and raised. "Lining Up" references some of the many historic ceramic tile designs (known as "azulejos") found in the city of Seville, Spain, where I am currently based. Through my painterly approach, I look at broken or disrupted pattern to visually communicate my experience of "loss": the loss that happens during the painting process when the surface gets covered with layers of paint, as well as the loss of time that goes into the process, and my own personal loss of a place to call home.
