The Split Kingdom is an ongoing mixed media series that I started in 2006. The works are small, ranging from 15cm x10cm to 20cm x 30cm and are made with a mixture of ink, pencil, crayon, aquarelle, acrylic, acrylic gels, glass paint and collage. The pictures depict idiosyncratic worlds and thought-scapes and with an openness to artistic form and practice to fluctuates between the figurative and the abstract. I make works daily, mostly in one sitting. Although the series withholds a unitary disposition, reappearance of particular figures, markings and textures holds questions concerning place, language, narrative and communication.
