Statement
 
7. Body, object, space.
Absurd Existential isolation, combined with a romantic longing, leads to a fetishisation of objects and surfaces, where minimal forms reveal a sensual and tactile materiality.
 
8. The fetishisation here is the repetition of a frozen moment.
A hotel room, flag, newspapers on the rear of a wardrobe, waiting, the gap between two pillows, a box, or the image of an icon.
Intimate. Contained. Reflection. Deviation.

5. Communication.
The repetition of stripes and hoops. Lines with gaps between them.
The gap is powerful, a tension between the possible and the impossible.
Potential for communication. Side by side, but never truly connecting.
