1. What's the title of your upcoming show and what's it about?
The title is 'Homme'.Reflecting on the past 6 years of the 'Homme' series, this show plays with the visual language that I've come to develop, to present a meditative collection of figurative abstractions. -

2. Is there a central theme(s) and how did it come about? What inspired it?
The 'Homme' series has become one of the most recognisable facets of my artistic output, and I'm very grateful for what the series has taught me.The female gaze on the male subject is at the core of this series, and this has always been inspired by my relationship with my husband.For much of his life, he's walked the line between a private self, and the public face of a performer (he is a concert pianist), and the 'Homme' began as little sketches that I did while waiting backstage as he performed.They became unconscious musings of the lone performer, exposed and anonymous. -
3. Is there any parallel between your new show and your last exhibition at HOFA in June 2021 (Coronation)?
Whereas 'Coronation' was a direct response to the Corona Virus and other global events, and its impact of our collective psyches, this show goes inward to a place of quiet reflection.

4. The past 2+ years have been tough for you and it's great to see you creating and showing your art despite the difficulties. How has this experience inspired or influenced your work and upcoming show?
The full impact of the injury and chronic pain is impossible to really put in words. I went somewhere very dark and vulnerable. But art has always been how I've understood the world, how I process thoughts and emotions, how I've communicated with others (and myself). Coming out the other end, I am in a meditative and minimalist state of mind, which is reflected in the work I am creating for this show.

5. Will you be showing exclusively new works or a combination of new and old works?
It will be exclusively new works.

6. Have you incorporated any new tools, media or techniques into your work?
I have been playing with Procreate, and Photoshop, as well as Stable Diffusion and Airbrushing.
