My drawings explore a psychological space of object interpretation and symbolism through the traditions of still life observation. The behaviours of Object Attachment Theory, perception and memory have led me to produce a body of work that explores partly-internal, partly-external psychological worlds that pivot somewhere between the familiar and the incomprehensible. My drawings are time-based, focusing on the labour of the observational look that enables the de-construction of form, and the chiselling away of the prevailing object through landscapes of filmic duration.
