Hours of the Day

Hours of the Day, Installation views, 21 March 2015 

Each work in 'Hours of the Day' has its correspondence in my encounters with art history.

Wandering through books and biennales the imprints remain and are translated and digested in a daily domestic and quotidian practice. Small intimate gestures reflecting chance encounters and correspondences seemingly disparate but held together by a shared affinity, be it stylistic or conceptual.
