"My work is mainly about people and their interpersonal connections, gender and identity. I try to describe and find the way that we interact, because in our current state of culture and society, it's such an interesting way we have found ourselves and how we talk to people, and how we connect, and connection has been changing a lot. Even just throughout my life, how we use the internet and how we use social media and all these things impact how we see ourselves and how we see others.
This series in particular is about how the personal image of the self can change so much, and our reflections of ourselves are constantly changing and morphing and moving throughout space.
Most of my work is based on images that I take of myself. It's a lot of self portraiture, but also found images and photos of friends and family and using those as a backdrop for the works themselves, since they are so personal. It's about people interacting with one another. "

"Normally I make a drawing, and then from the drawing I either decide to make a print or a painting or both. I've just started learning how to screenprint, so these are the first editions of the work I've made - it's been a really fun process to learn and connect with in a very different way, comparatively to how I've done etching in the past.
Humour is important to my work. I want things to be uncanny or funny, but never too serious. All the figures are always very serious and they take themselves more seriously than the world does, which I find really exciting. This work is a collective of different ideas I've been working with for a while with shadows and mirrors and all these motifs which have to do with the self and self-reflection."
