My research based practice explores global issues including migration caused by the \u2018sharply\u2019 evolving anthropogenic interference, on planet Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the concept of home and the feeling of homeliness, specifically in relation to migration and newfound \u2018home experiences\u2019 is becoming a focus. As a result the numbers of displaced people whom cannot go back home, continuously increases due to the growing disasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presently through painting I investigate my feelings of home as a migrant permanently living in Vienna. I document through photography, streets that give a sense of home in minute detail, hopefully exposing visual clues that may affect my perceptions. I then recreate these images through painting, uncovering hidden visions that could contribute to these feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From here because of the Pandemic and the general haze that seems to have come over the general public and the linked disinformation, I deconstructing these paintings, intuitively obliterating the realistic image with a gestural haze in the hope of identifying some mysterious unknown points of interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
