Galerie TIC, Project for 2027: creating a new body of work, working title:

"The Inheritance of Imagination".

Borrowing from the visual language of medieval and early Renaissance narrative tapestries, The Inheritance of Imagination is an ongoing body of work that creates conditions for reflection. It explores how inherited myths shape our emotional experience of conflict, contemplating the paradox between maternal care and cultural ideals of heroic masculinity. Situated where childhood imagination intersects with historical memory, the project invites reflection on the symbolic conditions from which admiration, pity and melancholy emerge.

London-based painter, Glasgow School of Art, and Heatherley School of Fine Art.
