Reaching Upwards This piece started off with a photo I took of a rough wall in a favourite café in Kuala Lumpur, which I recreated using various textured papers, paint, crackle paste and stencils. The photo of the boy on a chair comes from street art in Penang. SIZE: 35.5 x 45.5 cms on canvas...
The first two pieces use transfers made on the gelli plate from magazine pages, then glued on to the canvas. They were then embellished with stencils and further collage pieces.
These 15 x 15 cm pieces on watercolour paper were inspired some Youtube videos I saw by Lizbeth Degn. They employ a variety of techniques - collage with painted, printed and stencilled papers, cyanotypes, washi papers, bits of fabric, hand stitch and plant material.
Urban Landscape It’s not often that I choose an urban subject, but I love these stencils of houses and wanted to see what I could do with them. MEDIUM: Canvas Board, stencilled papers, collaged and overprinted on to painted tissue paper. Additional ink lines SIZE: 25 x 30 cms
The Secret Garden One of my favourite books is The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett which inspired me to produce this piece. MEDIUM: Canvas Board, Book pages, music score, printed rice papers, layered and painted. SIZE: 30 x 25 cms
