Grounded in myths, legends and fairy tales I combine everyday narratives with bigger social subject matter. The imagery this calls up in my mind informs my work. I paint, print, draw and I make use of props, masks and my body to create still and moving images. I tap simultaneously into the tradition of fine art and vernacular iconography to develop my own visual language. My ideas are continuously bounced between the different 2D and 3D media and in the process, I visually articulate my thoughts.

I think of the video installations as the most complete pieces of work, as they incorporate most aspects of the practice. The viewing stations in which the short films are shown function not only as an exhibition device, but work as a meaningful shell that surrounds the work and adds another layer that needs to be negotiated. As a set-up, the viewing stations revolve around the acts of looking and seeing, façade and content. By enticing the public into an active gesture of looking, I explore a narrative in which we all play a game of hide and seek with ourselves and with others; an ebb and flow of withholding and revealing. I focus on the playfulness of these acts.

I hope to give the viewers an experience, a memory and a sense of the absurd and magic.
