Emotion Personified

Often we seperate ourselves from our emotions because we want them to remain caged within us. We detach the mental from the physical. But they always find ways of seeping through to the surface. 

​

This series of paintings brings attention to the details by observing and uncovering feelings through little habits and bodily manifestations that reveal our inner mental state beyond the skins surface. Picking at nails, fidgeting, hunching over, collapsing in on ourselves; the work investigates the way in which we hold what’s weighing on our mind. Differing from person to person, its something we all share and come to learn and recognise in the people we love and open up to.
