The mind is the place where our whole existence occurs. Information about the world is gained through the senses, but actually made sense of in the mind, where thoughts are created, altered and lost. We are in this world but never experience anything beyond our bodies. Except in dreams and death, we never escape ourselves and our consciousness. Like our bodies, the mind is alive, a living organism that changes and grows over time.
These paintings are an experiment in looking at the mind as a place that reflects the familiarity and strangeness of being alive. I aim to depict imaginary spaces that people can get lost in, can crawl into and explore.
What exists is so much greater than what words can express.
