Abstract
My paintings offer glimpses into detailed, private narratives – a world outside of everyday existence with a logic all its own. They are at once sincere and absurd. ‘Damozels’ in mountainous gowns, inquiring dogs and readers of tiny books, all perform their secret rituals. I use cartoonish imagery – thought bubbles, flowers, question marks, Sleep-Zs, popping eyes – as simple signifiers in a space which is constantly dissolving/morphing/ complicating into something else.
