These mixed media paintings were created during the Covid lockdown in 2020, when the enforced stillness of staying at home turned my attention inward. Using acrylic on board, and including photographs of everyday items, I explored the familiar spaces of my own interior, transforming everyday rooms and objects into subjects for quiet reflection.
The works followed from the charcoal drawings I developed for my final year of my Fine Art degree, translating their structural clarity into bold, flat planes of colour. Influenced by the work of Patrick Caulfield, I embraced strong outlines, simplified forms, and a heightened sense of stillness, seeking to balance intimacy with an almost graphic precision.
