Statement:

My work varies from layered paintings to minimalist drawings and installations. It often arises from repeating an action and stems from curiosity. What happens when I repeat a simple action. Not three times, but tens or hundreds of times.

My current drawing project started in August 2023, and will finish in August 2024. I am making a drawing a day for a year: 'One more line a day'. Starting with one line on day 1, two on day 2, three hundred and sixty-five on day 365.
