“I am interested in the act of painting as a way to explore the idea of conceptual metaphors, metaphors that structure
our world view and perspective. ( see ‘metaphors we live by’ by Lakoff) . For me, painting, in an impro- visational mode,
can turn the process of metaphor into a visual performance or an evidence, a constant sliding across the surface of a
subject, it can enact the semantic jumps the mind makes when likening one thing to another and it provides an evidence
of this fundamental activity. I have used text and text-like forms in my paintings a lot, and my interest is around
the borders of where text becomes body, things that can hover between legibility and sensibility. I am interested in the
choosing of objects to invest with meaning and create a narrative, but also to look at the mechanics and syntax of that
meaning and how it is created. Painting becomes a machine that allows metonymic growth, a kind of world building.”
