Stories of curious characters, and familiar rituals that quietly shape our shared experience fuel my imagination to create each collage work. I am interested in the space where humour, nostalgia, and human vulnerability intersect, finding significance in both the mundane and the extraordinary. The collage process reinforces the idea of bringing multiple personalities together in situations to create a new narrative. The process is slow and intuitive; an act of collecting, editing, and reconstructing. At first glance it may appear as a painted picture, but on closer inspection the work is an orchestration of many parts, where materiality and detail become integral to the reading of the work. My imagery is distilled rather than descriptive. Figures and objects emerge from memory, observation, and imagination, stripped back to their essential forms. Through collage, I seek to transform the familiar into something quietly uncanny, inviting viewers to linger, and uncover stories that exist somewhere between memory and invention.
