ARTIST'S STATEMENT
"My work is very much driven by materials and processes. I'm deeply interested in thinking through materials, a very particular kind of visual thinking and I favour processes that are both rigorous and playful. These three works, Untitled , Tarot Suite and Special Blends , are little ideas, intended to be light-hearted and humorous. I like to think of them as the quips and witticisms that crop up in the on-going conversation between me, my materials and my processes." Roy Ananda
