'M'OTHER' 2018
acrylic and oil on canvas, 59x90cm
This piece from the Mother Nature series explores ideas around nature and a greater entity that watches over it (Mother Nature). This particular piece from the project looks at a hybrid deity that is surrealistically interpretive of her appearance.
'PHOTOSHOOT & INTERVIEW WITH A DOE' 2018
oil and acrylic on canvas, 50x70cm
This work, part of the Mother Nature series, looks at the commodification of nature and how human pop-culture sugar coats world issues and reality, particularly for western society through magazines and editorials.
'PROTECTRESS' 2018
oil on canvas, 50x60cm
This piece challenges the notion of industrialisation at the cost of destroying nature and animal habitats. It uses surrealist style, composition and narrative, to suggest alien intervention on Earth to protect the animals. Thus the work is titled Protectress. The project was made for a group exhibition focused on the idea of ‘Connections’, and the work emphasises the connection between nature and humans.
'WOMAN'S CRAFT' 2018
mixed media, 120x60cm
This project explores female domesticity and the stigmatised role of women in society. The work emphasised feminist imagery and childlike innocence in surrealist style, to de-sexualise the subject of the piece and rather focus on the idea of entrapment in the home.
'DANCING ON HELL'S REEF' 2017
acrylic on canvas, 121x50cm
Dance on Hell’s Reef is an abstract satirical project contextualising dance imagery and incorporating hell, deep ocean and anatomical-mortality themed imagery. On the bottom left corner of the work, a dance equation was written then layered with paint, which demonstrates the spontaneous layering process of this particular abstract piece. It’s satire is displayed through the absurdist dynamic between imagery, for example, the skull biting the dancer’s body, or the facial figure above the heart drinking the blood from the dancer’s artery, or an eye ball swimming in the coral reef.
'GLORIFIED PERFECTION II' 2017

'BROWNIE' 2016
