I am a painter/sculptor and use my body as the paintbrush. I create semi-abstract prints by applying paint directly to my body and press myself against the paper, this allows for the unique skin textures to transfer to the paper. By using my body, I can create broad gestural marks that truly reflect what the body is feeling and trying to communicate at that moment.
My work mainly consists of large, life-sized, paintings although I also create slightly smaller pieces using selected details of the body. The work is always instinct led, from the choice of colour to the movements themselves, everything is guided by my body from start to finish. These paintings are acts of freedom. They come from years of repression, feelings of having to hide myself both physically and mentally, feelings of having to be small and hidden. Today I can be as big, bright and bold as I want to be, I don’t need to hide anymore.
