Selected abstract works are based on brush strokes that define a narrative of life and it’s social surroundings. Ranging from political, relationship, cultural and religious viewpoints, the works tell stories of opinion rather than fact. It allows the viewers to form their own understanding, and only ask questions.

3rd Floor Economy | Acrylic on Canvas | 36" x 24" | 2013 | The 3rd Floor is higher than ground level but not a penthouse by any means. Just enough to give you the feeling of progression, but the hopes of rising up to achieve your dream. The intersection of the warm summer-like colours, balanced with the cool refreshing blues, allows the negative white space to weave through the piece without creating emptiness. This work focuses on the abstraction of opportunity, a story of emptiness, and tells a story of the ‘Project Buildings’ which were initially developed for new immigrants to a country. What was supposed to be an opportunity to start a new life quickly was realized to be a systemic means to oppress and contain communities within their own environment. The reference of the ‘3rd Floor’ is a comparison to the cost of units as you move higher in a building. You can get in, but the question is, can you get up and out?
