My artworks operate like surreal diary entries. They’re created impulsively, responding to fleeting and indistinct thoughts. They help me to understand how and why I take up space in this world. I channel horror, absurdism, and humour while immersing the viewer into a phantasmagoric expression of my fears, anxieties, and passions. In my video piece Small Seeds to Grow, Large Pots to Fill, we follow a bug-eyed woman as she laments her dying plants through song. Within these strange and melodic musings, she realises that her own self-destructive tendencies are the roots of her unhappiness. This sends her on a deeper, existential spiral – expressed through a sequence of death-metal scored stop-motion. Completely unravelled, she rebuilds herself through thorough self-reflection and poppy, syncopated beats. A similarly macabre humour is employed throughout my large-scale paintings, which often accompany my video work. I choreograph bizarre and abnormal postures within saturated colour to reflect on spiralling introspections and social issues.
