Residue and traces. A place where past actions affect new actions and traces of something happened is left to lead the eye up to what happened after.

In the studio, I get completely lost in the moment. I forget time, I forget myself. At hand is a plethora of materials including steel, wood, styrofoam, expanding foam, rubber, stones as well as a collection of different found objects including bicycle tyres, car parts, various bits from vacuum cleaners, spin dryers, chairs, wooden banisters and a range of stretchy fabrics, including different coloured spandex, powernetting and sheet latex.

I bring these different materials together, and through various processes, they are transformed. I try to develop processes that are unpredictable and not entirely controllable so that the outcome is a surprise. In this respect, the reading of the work is in its making and I’m fascinated by the apparent ability of materials and objects to retain a temporal quality of process. To some extent, through the making process, the work discovers itself.

My current studio focus is developing processes that will generate structure. I have been enveloping objects and different materials in stretchy fabrics. Through the interplay of found objects, material and fabric, work is produced beyond preconception.

The transformations move towards the unknown and the work has a non-identity, fugitive quality. There is also a sense of the absurd in the work inspired by writers such as Samuel Beckett, Flann O’Brien and Luigi Pirandello. The found object suggests a narrative but it is also considered as a historical artefact suspended in the potential fluid movement of the fabric; an interesting tension which I plan to develop further.

"I speak fluently and think wisely, though without idiom or train of thought. ideas and language tend to set the scene on where I play my games turned into visual propositions."

I am interested in how the mind sees and how the hand paints, how images are selected from the surrounding world and from memories, and how these fragments coalesce and collide and form new “things”. Scrambled categories and shifting viewpoints suggest a different kind of visual attention, a wide-open field of awareness. Negotiating form through material requires that I follow the logic of the paint, sometimes battling with the materials before the elusive image emerges. I often use previous paintings as a starting point, over painting and revealing selective passages that in turn suggest a new structure. I cannot presume to know the form before making the painting but I can try to be on hand when the barriers lift.

I am interested in the various states of consciousness between being awake, dreaming, sleeping and unconsciousness.

Drawing serves as a starting point of my work and research. I realised that within the medium of drawing I could find a lot of the issues I am dealing with.
The mental state when making drawings is most commonly one of total absorption, a withdrawing and removal of attention from anything other than the drawing; the sense of draw, meaning to extract. The world is reduced to a piece of paper and becomes a depository of thought.

The objective for the use of measurements as part of my aesthetic is to start thinking beyond the picture as an autonomous thing and to start thinking about the gallery as a whole.
My work uses the architecture of the gallery as the support, it is not about a critique of an architectural structure but an interest in the phenomenology of a person’s relational position to its space, art-objects presented and the interconnections between the art-objects, and their relationships to the viewer, and the gallery as a unit. The formula: painted object + measurements in pencil + white walls + active spectator + gallery = one unit, a single whole.

My practice is directed by thinking. I try to think about my historical situation through the perspective and methods of a painter. Concerns about representation and translation are reflected in all of my projects.

The thematic of "mapping the human skin" determines my recent artwork which approaches different ages in relevance with the environmental space. I am interested in the slow building up of the surface through multiple layers and I pay close attention to graduations in tone and texture. The human skin in my artwork contradicts to the "porcelain skin" that we see on the magazine covers. If you paint a scar on the "complexion" of your canvas, it can be beautiful; it becomes a part of its identity.

I am interested in consciousness, awareness, speechlessness.
I work mainly with Painting, Photography, Video.
Painting is figurative, colour is the corner stone to the atmosphere presented.
Photography is a medium that permits meaning and form to blend indivisibly.
Videos are made to be seen as a moving painting, a photograph sculpted.

Her work is now shown at the Jorge Shirley Gallery, Lisbon (www.jorgeshirley.com).
Documentary «Foule Immobile», collaboration with Merlin James and Mummery+Schnelle Gallery, London, 2009.
