“I always had romantic notions of living close to nature, but it can be a terrible place to be lost on your own.
“I have begun a series of paintings and sculptures featuring characters trying to make their way through a dark forest. The paintings deal, allegorically, with issues of predation & domestic violence, with a cast of vulnerable creatures and animals.
The paintings have an implied narrative. They tie in with one another so that a story seems to unfold from one to the next. It is a story I am rarely able to address with words.”
