Such a beautiful painting, I love how vibrant and full of colour it is.
Thank you
Thank you Louise, I really appreciate it.
Such a beautiful piece of work, it looks like a photogram or an x-ray.
You've captured the movement of dance so delicately but with real strengthen.
Such an intriguing piece of work! I feel like it's posing a question, there's a mystery to it.
Thank you Chris for your kind comments, lovely to hear you like this work.
The photograph was captured on black and white 35mm film. I then printed it in the colour darkroom, which gives it this sepia/red tone.
I was very much influenced at the time by David Lynch's films, Mulholland drive, Blue Velvet and director Sam Mendes, America Beauty. Also photographers Cindy Sherman and Larry Clarke.

What an amazing painting! Very intense! I really like your work.
Great Photograph! Very filmic. It captures the beginning of a story, it leaves me wanting to know more.
Such a beautiful painting, you have captured such a special moment of motherhood.
When I look at this piece of work, I see pages of words, books and thoughts. I see a stairway in the centre winding to the top of the canvas. I see it as an allegory of the echo change ever present in our lives. Fabulous piece of work!
I live in Palma, Mallorca where there is an incredible street art scene, there is a freedom to street art that is shaped by the artists thoughts. I come from a town called Swansea in Wales where Banksy stamped a piece of his work to a garage in Port Talbot (30 mins away from Swansea). This was not only a surprise to the community but it also created divisions, most appreciate the art work and were excited to see a 'real life' Banksy, but some people were like vultures trying to pursued the owner of the garage to sell it to them, others tried to destroy it.
His notoriety is so big now I don't know if that is a good thing or not because his statements are felt massively through communities for the better and for the worse.
Lastly technology seems to have an impact on street art as it is in most places an illegal act, which is another obstacle artist have to overcome. Coming from the UK CCTV is prolific on the streets however in Palma particular the old town CCTV is not so common this allows the street artists the freedom to choose there walls to create, with this comes street art politics within the graffiti world, where tags, comments and targeting fresh graffiti as place to produce your new work creates divisions and unities with the graffiti world.
I find that has you mentioned the art establishment are often the gate keeps to the art world and this can have a detrimental effect that often deny the artist their space to engage with wider audiences and communities and this needs need to change to support artists to make challenging, risk taking, amazing art.
Beautiful piece of work, it looks like nature embedded in with a mathematical equation of symmetry.
Absolutely stunning! I love your work. So raw, and real. So inspiring.
