Statement

My painting practice uses absurdity and satire to examine human behaviour, hierarchy, conformity and our assumed separation from the non-human world. Penguin-human hybrids recur as stand-ins for people navigating the strange theatre and systems of everyday life. Across staged interiors, game-like spaces and reversals of power, I turn familiar structures into something that can be questioned. I am now extending these constructed worlds beyond the canvas into installation, moving image and participation, allowing audiences to enter and activate the systems they previously observed.
