Catalogue Note
"I take figures from art history and use them… Like I’ll take a Goya figure, and then a Bacon figure… But it’s important to mix it up between artists so it doesn’t become too derivative. I have been looking at Munch and Beckmann. I find as I get more assured of the fact that I can paint, I don’t mind letting my influences show."
