My practice uses the narrative quality of painting to explore the liminal space between psychology and digital technology. It is through painting that I flesh out and subvert generational anxieties caused by or concerning the pervasive impact of gadgets and social media on the human psyche. In my view, painting’s physicality, slowness and history facilitate contemplation away from screens, away from the attention-grabbing algorithms that roam our digitized image-saturated culture to propagate content that fosters a superficial form of entertainment.

​

Perhaps counterintuitively, I combine digital aesthetics with gestural marks in search of a more enthralling journey than a kitten-filled Instagram reel. Namely, a series of intertwined painted stories that take my experience with technology as a starting point to discuss pivotal questions on life in the 21st century.
