Grounds For Divorce

Although the rocking horse is the focal point within this painting, as the hand painted text on the canvas states it is not solely about the horse. I am fascinated with how we interact and use objects as pawns within the far more complex aspects that often occur throughout life. With the use of totems, cyphers and text I wanted to examine and over emphasise irrationality and the emotions that we all feel at certain times in our lives, during moments that are complex and combustible. These emotions are so multi layered and yet we often return to a quite simplistic territorial game. Ultimately I enjoy capturing the subtext within human interactions and dilemmas, which prove infinitely fascinating
