Artist statement:
These works are imaginings for new modes of being.
Coded futures and a painted past.
Surreal textile objects disrupting controlled environments,
and how we are expected to pass through them.
From one side of a dualistic way of being to the other.
Good and evil, control and release, colour and grey,
neurotypical and neurodivergent, fantasy and reality.
These are the spaces in between; rich soil for growth.
Ever unfolding realities and generative, coded futures.
Digital play and material stitches.
Futures for bodies without organs.
Neurocosmopolitan and earthly delights.
A push and pull between channels and dimensions.
To stitch a thread from one way of being to the other.
These works are an attempt to make visible the unseen.

Also known as Giclee prints or bubble-jet prints, pigment ink-jet prints are generated by computer printers from digital or scanned files using dye-based or pigment-based inks. A series of nozzles spray tiny droplets of ink onto the paper surface in a precise pattern that corresponds to the digital image file. In dye-based prints the ink soaks into the paper, whereas in pigment-based prints the ink rests and dries on top of the paper surface.
Whilst the term is broad, pigment ink-jet prints have come to be associated with prints produced on fine art papers. They are the most versatile and archival method of printing available to photographers today. A wide variety of material on which an image can be printed with such inks are available, including various textures and finishes such as matte photo paper, watercolour paper, cotton canvas or pre-coated canvas.
