My images are staged in a fashion journalistic-type scenario.
I want to capture a beautiful picture and physically disrupt its flawlessness
through the process of painting in order to attract and repel the viewer
in a single glance.
The
twisted and seductive faces are thick like made-up clowns, yet unrecognisable
as a beautiful and precious friend. As a focal point of the work they
mimic magazine covers in their composure and echo idyllic posters in their
scale.
A
play of opposites, my practise imagines the model as pretty but ugly,
pure but grotesque, adoring but jealous, trusting but secretive.
