The starting point for my work was initiated by a fascination for a musical ballerina box kept since childhood.
Using the hind sights of traditional painting and the processes of digital photography, the work hovers between reality and unreality in a quest to capture coincidental moments of light and space around domestic remnants.
Objects such as buttons, cotton reels, a small piece of mirror or a piece of cotton are transformed into ambiguous photographic images associated with my childhood memories and imagination.
The miniature work seeks to invite the viewer into the dialectics of wonder, referencing a transcendent sense of time and an inner questioning about what is seen and unseen.
The impulse to breathe new life into discarded matter, and a pre-occupation to archive the intangible essence of domestic endeavours, speaks of an underlying quest for rootedness within a discourse of endlessness.
A desire to still the blur and find meaning within re-enchanted space.
