About The Artwork
Land of Milk and Honey explores the fever pitch intensity of cartoons and reflects on our failed attempts at present day ‘utopias’. Cockaigne, the mythical Land of Plenty, was a medieval notion of Utopia where “he who sleeps the longest, earns the most” and “Where money has been exchanged for the good life”. In many ways society has achieved much of the material aspects that were lacking in medieval times. Long life and advanced health care, mechanised food production. But rather than excessive leisure and boredom being our rewards, it seems our reality is stress and uncertainty. The idealised and simplified forms, gestures and language of cartoons are a vibrant and violent lexicon that exists in parallel to our own daily lives. I use this language and allow images to coalesce until they resonate and reflect my own obsessions and concerns.

I'm drawn to challenging assumed hierarchies, and find inspiration as much on the street and in cartoons as I do from looking back at the history of painting. This collaged way of working reflects more accurately my experience of the world. After studying sculpture, I worked briefly as a free-lance toy designer. I use art making as a form of research and as a vehicle to explore subjects I would not necessarily immerse myself in otherwise. It's a personal dialogue and a wider one with the public through the art work. At the same time, the process of painting is also a way of quietening my mind and occupying a space that is undivided and unitive. I also draw from the vitality and power of tribal art, often merging notions of the sacred with the banal objects of pop culture. I like to compress these apparently opposing elements into works of meaning and humour; and by colliding these disparate worlds, I question my perceived values and prejudices. I've recently exhibited in the UK, Tahiti, France, Germany and Switzerland.
