“My work explores suburban neighbourhoods and everyday objects as metaphors for experiences of existential longing and modern restlessness. My current series, ’Home’ represents universal longings for belonging and acceptance, or in other words, the search for a true home. In my most recent prints and paintings, I continue this series by exploring additional themes that add to this narrative. I am revisting past still-life images in order to contrast the introspective nature of these works with the Home images. The everyday objects, which are meant to evoke feelings of restlessness and isolation are juxtaposed with images of rest and belonging. My goal is to unite all three themes – shirts, still-life images, and homes – to create a cohesive narrative that describe deep longings, and their ultimate fulfillment.”
