THE MATERIALS

A different way
to make a mark.

01 / GLASS ART

Glass Art

Controlled marks fracture the surface into a portrait. Each pattern of cracks is unique, making the material part of the image itself.

02 / DRAWINGS

Drawings

Charcoal and graphite bring faces into focus through patient observation, tonal detail and hand-drawn marks.

03 / PASTELS

Pastels

Self-portrait studies become a space for colour, soft blending and surreal experiments, including tentacles and a book balanced overhead.

04 / RUGS

Rugs

Tufted portraits, brand marks and playful subjects move the artwork from the wall into a textured, tactile surface.

05 / DOUBLE SIDED PAINTINGS

Double Sided Paintings

Two portraits share one construction. Painted wooden slats reveal different images as the viewer moves past the piece.

06 / REFLECTION ART

Reflection Art

Carefully arranged mirror fragments and directed light create a portrait in reflection: an experiment in image, angle and illumination.
