my practice explores the idea of home as a complex and conflicting space. my painting process involves imagining the surfaces’ edges as strict boundaries defining a space over which i exercise complete control. this is a factor reinforced by their miniature scale, which allows for intense manipulation and configuration. i manufacture interior environments within these walls, working from digital photo collages featuring discreet details to explore the strangeness and duplicity of a home. i analyse the home as a private, nostalgic body of comfort and self-expression, as well as a structure with links to potential confinement, traditionally owned by men and maintained by women.
