In my art practice, I am questioning the notions of art-making, and exploring the human condition. \n\nHow do you develop an aesthetic to represent empathy and compassion? The presence of the hand is important, surface exploration, low-tech, and human. The ability to layer, and hide with a thin coat of material, or a veil. To listen to the piece as I am creating it. Since 2018 I have been exploring these themes through the pattern of camouflage, which is connected to the ideas of blending in, just below the surface, a layer to hide behind, \"skin-deep\", flattening the plain and being still. \n\nThe camouflage also opens up a parallel questioning that I am interested in, around the evolution of patterns and uniforms, clothing that is sewn by hand by someone, labor, and of course: nationality, military, and service to one's country.","space":"Indoors, protected from the environment.
