My work consists of detailed moleskine sketchbooks that I cover pages with figures I create from vast amount of second hand imagery. After I select imagery from different locations and eras, I go about ‘forming’ my own scenario, which is an alchemical and tentative process. I am careful to leave my viewer room to speculate upon their own narrative, this is important to me. I am hoping that I can extrude and expand upon the resource of emotion and information this found photography gives to me. I use expressive colour in such a way that it’s described as ‘painting with pencils’
