A registered charity that provides artists studios, exhibition space and public engagement with contemporary art in the heart of East Oxford
Statement
My practice depends the dynamic that comes from working from life in one sitting. I am interested in the relationship between marks and likeness and in recording the process by drawing attention to the material. By working quickly and intuitively, rejecting the safety and repetition of a reliable method, I seek to find a new language for each new subject.
