'I wish it were casual Friday' 2025, Acrylic on Canvas. 91 x 91 cm
Feature:
'I didn't know they closed' 2025, investigates the disorienting discovery of a beloved local restaurant's closure through faux-naive figurative painting. Using distorted proportions and bold colours, the work transforms this mundane yet jarring moment into meditation on contemporary uncertainty. Point-of-view perspective situates viewers within the scene, deploying ambiguity to invite personal recognition of similar losses within our increasingly unstable shared environments.

Longest day of my life, how long until lunch?
I guess I’ll do this for the rest of my life then.
The executive partner just walked past..
Are my socks silly enough ?
At least it’s Wednesday.
I need another coffee.
Why do employees make shrines describing their lives outside the office?
