Lines, forms, mark making and shadow play within these works do not tell the story of one place or person. Whilst the artist has taken inspiration from the journeys of her own ancestors (some well documented, other parts obscured), and her own travels, these paintings are an exploration of the connection between topography and heritage in a general sense. The maps we use as guides. Trade winds and ocean currents. The soil we grow food in. Waterways in which we swim. The coastlines, forests and mountains we walk. And suburban plots with grass verges kept neatly mown. As our stories are told our identities are anchored to the land.
