Based on found images relating to the mortuary industry, and sensitively rendered on a small, intimate scale, these paintings strike a somewhat dissonant chord: forensic yet painterly, anonymous yet touched by the traces of private loss, they invite a complex and unsettling viewing experience.

Each object is presented in isolation, echoing feelings of precariousness, and the sense of separation that can shape our lives, especially in a world of increasing individualism. Set against studio backdrops, the objects appeal to the viewer directly, subtly referring to art-making as a form of address. Rather than providing answers, these works invite you to find your own meaning in the spaces between presence and absence.
