“In this series I explore the idea of the surface as a site of memory - layered, weathered and bearing the quiet traces of what came before. Each work reveals and conceals in equal measure, building a sense of time not through narrative but through erosion, texture and repetition.
Through veils of paint, embedded marks and partial erasures, they invite contemplation of what lingers beneath, not only in the material, but in ourselves. These are paintings that hold silence, that suggest rather than state and that honour the way time leaves its trace on everything it touches.”
