The Good Life: Living and Making

The work is shaped not only in the studio, but through the rhythms of everyday life — growing, cooking, observing, and making.

Time spent outdoors , in the garden, on walks, or simply observing the changing seasons — plays a quiet but essential role in shaping the work.

Colour, texture, and form are absorbed gradually, often without intention it becomes part of a visual language that later emerges through collage.

 

Growing food has become an important part of this rhythm. The process of planting, tending, and harvesting mirrors the slower pace of making — attentive, seasonal, and rooted in care.

In the kitchen, colour and composition continue to unfold — ingredients laid out, prepared, and transformed. These moments, though everyday, carry the same sensitivity to balance, contrast, and texture found in the studio.

 

“The rhythms of everyday life — growing, making, and observing shape the work.”

The work evolves through this balance — between life and making, observation and composition.
