the comic book series

This series of paintings is based on the language used in comic books. I am exploring how by taking words and phrases out of context their meaning can become ambiguous. I am also interested in the visual qualities of these words and how the way they look might affect the way they sound.

In its original form this was a large pile of paper flowers made from unwanted books.

This is about words becoming redundant and the idea of sharing a non-existant message.

in memory...

This experiments with using language as a form of memory. Plaques were placed on park benches to celebrate and commemorate the small personal memories that we may all have experienced.
