Artist Statement | Works on Paper

My watercolour and ink practice started in a hotel in Bali. Left to rest alone for four hours in a room with just a watercolour pan, ink pens and a few brushes, I was beckoned to create these paintings in the shower, subconsciously influenced by the rustic seascape of the region. Each work contains imagined forms from a natural but unknown world, many like holding vessels, others like fossils or skeletons pertaining to neither creature, plant or man. Layering of paints play a large part in the interconnectedness of forms, with new shapes, sizes and even colours reflecting the context in which this practice has evolved beyond the Bali hotel room.
