My work is strongly inspired by found imagery of melancholic and nondescript interiors, mainly stills from films made in the 70s and 80s, and dramas set in that period. Creating a sort of suspended world, a moment frozen in time, the painting feels like a cinematic transition between two scenes, giving the impression that a moment has passed or about to unfold at any moment. “Only recently has my work involved the process of photo transfer, a technique in which I encourage flaws to be made, such as the misalignment of the grid of images or the rubbing off of the image in places. I use my own retro, grainy, colour-saturated photographs, produced using a Harinezumi camera, which when transferred, give the feel of a vintage photograph. I combine this technique with expressive gestures in oil paint exploring how the outside merges with the painted interior.”
