I love the decorative nature of interior scenes. They allow me to take mundane objects out of context in order to create something beautiful that can make somebody smile. I often use pattern-making to draw the eye into the centre of the image and let it dart around playfully, being attracted by something different at every glance.

 

Multiple motifs are peppered throughout my work: highly stylised furniture; a picture within a picture; a torso – fragmented parts that on their own don’t necessarily make sense, carefully placed to create a balanced whole.
