Art can be a therapeutic process confronting events and situation, past and present, positive and negative. Memories from the past can influence paintings that constantly create different experiences. A visual experience can be made from the reactions of memories for the viewer to be interpreted in his or her own way. Memories act as our unconscious diary. Everything in the past lives in today.
My more recent works express layers of time. The numerous layers make the paintings vibrate as a whole. The more time taken to view it the more the layers fuse together, making it more difficult to decipher between each layer. They introduce a personal history. My patterning allows me to control the manipulation of each layer, confronting the laws of past, present and future in a non-chronological manner. It is my way of controlling my reactions to events and situations that I have no control of. I find my paintings to be therapeutic, dealing with personal instigations I face day to day.
