Loveletters from nowhere Part Three: The Storm

02 - 03 November 26

Opening night:
Friday 2nd October, 5-7pm

Fifteen years ago I came back to painting and this is my latest show in four chapters: Loveletters from nowhere.

The Loveletters from nowhere works are not unlike ‘wish you were here’ postcards. The compositions have thoughts attached with each painting connected to a place or person. It is not important to know the details, but the details were important for the creation.

My metaphorical love letters to my past and future self remind me that I belonged to somewhere at some time. Through the landscape, objects and people around me, I fabricate a world where I’m happy and at peace. Like promises to loved ones, always a little embellished, a little unreal.

Ironically, being away is where I feel connected the most, sending loveletters home with every new view, every new moment. For me being an outsider looking in is quite comfortable. It is how I navigate difficult and also good times. I now more than ever understand why I see and do things the way I do.
