Ground
The textured background creates a distressing atmosphere, which makes the work more intriguing and open to interpretations by the viewer. Textured surfaces act like a barrier that blocks our view and it becomes alive, owing to the small bumps and scratches that are rhythmic and captivating. It mentally forms a physical obstacle to its progress as compared to a highly polished surface which can invite us to enter like a mirror. These surfaces vary from the various treatments it received such as weathering due to natural processes, lovers who have carved out their initials onto the bark of a tree, graffiti blatantly scattered across a highway or even floor stains that will accumulate with age like wrinkles on a face.
My works involve interest in surfaces. Experiments with various materials and how they are manipulated, are explored. These layers that create a certain level of depth to my works are to exemplify aspects of nostalgia.
