Photography has always accompanied my painting — the quiet force riding alongside, sometimes leading the way. I’m drawn to the dialogue between the two: making photographs that feel like paintings, and paintings that echo photographic qualities.
Lately, I’ve been exploring film soup — soaking film in everyday ingredients like salt or vinegar to introduce unpredictable textures and distortions. I’ve also begun working with semi-transparent acrylic surfaces layered with liquids and pigments, creating abstract compositions that filter and refract light.
It’s like an analogue form of Photoshop, but with a human touch. Through these processes, I’ve embraced chance and impulse as a creative ethos, letting colour, light, and materiality guide the work organically.
