Remnant series

These are sections of fabric that have been cut and used for different purposes for clothing or within the domestic space, therefore each have had their own specific purpose and history. This contrasts with the subject matter as they depict wild areas of woodland outside the home. What is also of particular note is the pattern on the fabric is often floral or nature inspired. The paintings reflect upon the uncanny disposition of both the actual fabric and the actual object of the painting and the painted place or the memory/ recording of the place. They are rooted in the lived experience of nature particularly woods and the changing seasons. While the paintings reference photographs of woods they also slip into abstraction and collage.
