Future Archaeology Project -The stillness and slow decay of discarded objects fascinates me. I find myself often falling into a meditative state as I paint. There is an intimacy in the study of rust patterns, breakages and bends in forgotten objects. I create and become part of the object's story as I build up an image. I also tend to repeat studies or reproduce the same object in different mediums. It is a process that leads me to a deeper understanding not only of the objects themselves, but of human history.
These objects have been the main focus for the body of work I have created for my Graduate Show.
