The concept of home conjures up a variety of emotions. When we think of a house in this context, each room might bring with it a lifetime of experiences, giving these spaces an elusive essence of history. In times of isolation in these spaces, we may be forced to reckon with this history. Through looking at a variety of familiar subjects and interior spaces, my work examines the role of time and memory and our perception of the present. Working in the medium of oil and acrylic my paintings are developed through a process of layering and blending subdued colours to construct a sense of space. Taking influence from the poetic paintings of the 19th century Danish painter Vilhelm Hammershoi, I am interested in creating an atmosphere that depicts the ordinary and familiar as uncanny.
