I have recently graduated from a BA painting course at Wimbledon college of art, London. I am now working from a studio in East London where i am continuing to paint. Since graduating i have been invited to take part in several group shows around London and am looking to study an MA painting course next year. My work rebounds around a collection of frustrations, anxieties and questions. The characters in my paintings form a unit within the identity of the individual, which is first formulated then challenged. I view my subject's internal relationship as a family narrative, a violent power struggle to do with dominance. I attempt to Question perceptions by disrupting the familiar. By invading the stability of accepted reality I can create a sense of moral distrust. When undermining these familiar boundaries a feeling of the uncanny becomes evident. The uncanny is ever present between the undesired reality and the unattainable fictional void. When personal dwellings within a symbolic space are disturbed the reality disintegrates.
