In this series of works, a bold focus on form and colour is used to explore several overwhelming subject matters through a playful and vibrant style.
They look at the development of an overarching theme, that our time on this wonderful planet is becoming more and more temporary.
The works invite you to absorb a collection of organic shapes, landscapes, and unidentifiable animal forms with the hope you are reminded of
the beauty in nature and take a break from the harsh psychological confines of existentialism and despair

​

Creature Comforts - used here as a play on words exploring the repercussions of our human desire for creature comforts on nature's own comforts and needs.
The cute and colourful creature masks the gentle skull reference, leaving it to appear both alive and dead simultaneously.
