remnants

This stunning body of work invites us to contemplate the complex relationship between urban waste and the human psyche. Each abstract landscape is etched with remnants of the past and glimpses of perceived reality, drawing on the metaphor of suburban waste bins as potent symbols of our memories and experiences. The works encourage us to consider ourselves as vessels, suspended in time and stitched to the eternal passage of life and death, as we fill ourselves, empty, and then fill again. Through these striking compositions, we are invited to explore the open vastness of the human mind, obstructed by the constant flux of life, and to reflect on the impact of our actions on the world around us.

Beneath the surface of these stark, alluring, and atmospheric landscapes lies a wasteland created by modern civilization, overlaid with fragmented continuous line drawings of rubbish bins. The crisp vertical white lines suggest a structured, white picket fence existence, while the fragmented forms evoke a sense of chaos and disarray. These works challenge us to consider the consequences of our waste and the impact of our actions on the environment. Created using a range of materials and techniques, including acrylic, oil, cotton thread and needles, ink transfer prints, and resin on paper and canvas, these works are a testament to the artist's skill and vision. The layering of different elements creates a richly textured and multi-layered surface that invites the viewer to explore the work in greater depth. These works are both beautiful and thought-provoking, offering a new perspective on the world around us and our place within it.
