Painter from the North West of England
My paintings stage dreamlike scenes to take a detour through human emotions. Familiar objects, sockets, windows, roses, cables, furniture explore what can be a brittle tension between our inner and outer worlds. I want the work to resist the comfort of being read like a story because I hold on to an unwaning belief that painting can speak of what remains unsayable; evoke feelings rather than concrete answers. Betty Elms in David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive is a character who I return to often. Her radiant, naive optimism rehearsed so perfectly it becomes cliché.
