ARCHIVE Unlearn I, oil on linen, 100 x 100 cm, 2021

Conceived for the exhibition State of Things at K.L.8. in May 2021, this first canvas of a series, shows a piece of the body of the artist. This unconventional type of self portrait presents physical remnants that almost feel archeological.

ARCHIVE The ♀Portrait Game this week with Marina Abramovic. Her amazing work spans performance, body and feminist art. Today I want to think about why they used a wild animal for this picture, with #tigerking going viral during this lockdown, I just want to say, some things are not meant to be tamed. I couldn’t even get my cat to pose correctly.

ARCHIVE The Dutiful, from the State of Things Triptych, oil on linen, 400 x 200 cm, 2021

When I paint, art historical references, personal memories and symbolism intertwine to create a new image which serves as a modern allegory.

ARCHIVE Today, I honour a great talent of the 16th century, Sofonisba Anguissola. Responsible for some of the first female self portraits known to art history. This self portrait from 1561 at the clavichord was a self-conscious showing of skills.
