Artist’s Statement

Spring 2022 and quite a lot of things in the world were, and are, quite bad. I wanted to express in these self portraits how so often we use humour, fun and comedy to try to deal with much darker emotions. This emotional dissonance is often seen in cinema, theatre and life, and curiously actually ‘amplifies’ the sad, the worrying, the threatening and the sinister.
