I am interested in the sister sibling, which is the primary perspective I use to help create my paintings, as this is what I myself can identify with. I explore a shared journey of departure from the plains of childhood, paint aids this as a fluid and versatile medium. The sibling relationship is often a turbulent one, complicated by the simultaneous anonymity of love, fun, loyalty, anger, hatred and disgust. What does this mean and how does it form the female character? The bathmat as an island is a template I frequently use in my paintings. I call this Carpet Island, usually taking the form of an oriental carpet, rug or blanket which in turn conducts the narrative in the paintings. On Carpet Island, anything can happen, it is where the siblings can play their game, no matter what the cost of their actions.
