My current work is concerned with the nature of objects, particularly souvenirs, what they signify, their narrative qualities and their importance. I paint single objects and collections on canvas or linen and use linseed oil and artist’s quality oil paints in order to play with notions of value, even if the object in question is a donkey from Spain.
