About the artwork:

'High Water' is part of an ongoing series that explores the transformation of automatic drawings and collages into paintings. Rooted in everyday interactions, the work emerges spontaneously, guided by line, colour, and repetition. This intuitive process invites subconscious forms to surface, disrupting conventional structures and expectations.
Rather than depict direct experiences, the paintings evoke them, translating moments into abstract shapes and distilled palettes. The resulting images resemble flags, patterns, or emblems, functioning as visual signals that suggest deeper, more layered meanings.
