little ethos about my work

My work explores ideas of perceptual uncertainty, where there is a tension between ambiguous human figures and the spaces they appear to inhabit. There is a communication, but also a misunderstanding between figure and space, as perceptually, they are universally familiar, yet both are out of sync with each other and with representational reality- lost in two different planes of being, or in two simultaneous dimensions. I am interested in depicting human figures at odds with their environment, at odds with each other, at odds with existence. By embracing the fallibility of human perception we hand ourselves over to irrational forces and wander into the unknown. This may be utopia.
