“Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” Lewis Carroll

My body of work represents the ideas of loneliness, confinement and isolation within a space of safety. Lewis Carroll’s Cheshire Cat is both a guiding figure and a threat, expressing the darker thoughts within our imagination, especially during night-time hours when our imaginations are free to 'run wild'.

My artmaking practice has been influenced by the study and interpretation of the following artists: Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland; Georges de La Tour; Gregory Crewdson; Edward Hopper.
