My work is about the juxtaposition of imagery focused on children (cartoons, children’s book illustrations, toys, etc) and the complicated adult world that awaits them. My mediums are painting, mixed media, assemblage and sculpture. I’m fascinated by vintage materials, wood and metal toys, tins, books. As a collector of old kitsch and ephemera, I am drawn in to the mystery of a past era and former owner. I search for hints of interaction, a note in a margin, the worn surface of a toy. I try, in my own work, to create objects carrying their own hints of a past life; to create, as it were, an indication of history, of a story carrying back to a forgotten owner
