STATEMENT:
The Space Between reflects my ongoing investigation into colour as a spatial and perceptual force. I am interested in how colour can generate the illusion, and at times the sensation, of dimensional space within the confines of the painted surface. Colour can be an active agent: a material that defines, destabilises, and reshapes compositional space. When placed in dialogue, colours behave responsively, pushing and pulling against one another, collapsing fixed spatial hierarchies and creating visual momentum.

My work is grounded in the observation of urban architectural environments—particularly the interplay between the external geometries of built facades and the layered intricacies of interior space. These spatial encounters are manipulated and abstracted into structural motifs that serve as compositional frameworks. Within these frameworks, I explore how chromatic relationships can produce dynamic shifts in optical weight, temperature, and spatial positioning, aiming for a perceptual ambiguity that invites you, the viewer, into a constantly shifting visual terrain of meaning negotiation.
