Sentience
Humans are sentient beings, with the capacity to have feelings, as well as the power to perceive, reason, and think. A subjective phenomenon referring to the depth of awareness that a living being possesses of themselves and their environment. Sentience is the ability to experience sensations such as pleasure and comfort, or pain and suffering. The tendency is to view humans as having a full range and depth of sentience, however, it's undoubtedly possible that some animals might have properties of sentience that people don’t, and vice versa.

Sensing Nostalgia
Oil paint and mixed media on canvas | 2 x 2 metres | 2015
This sculptural painting provides strong sentiment, as an interpretation of nostalgia. Every person has their own relationship with identified feelings, but at its essence nostalgia is a sense of comfort stemming from the past, which has the ability to envelop. This highly specific feeling engages memory, recognition, comfort and longing, its complexity driving the query whether humans are the only living beings with the capacity to feel it. A nuanced feeling which can change over time, nostalgia provides a fond recognition with the capacity to inhabit a person from softness through to darkness.
Elements of Patience
Acrylic paint on canvas | 2 x 2 metres | 2015
This semi-translucent painting consists of more than 30 layers, producing a liquid like constitution and an endless depth. It stirs up a sense of soft and moving serenity while the shape provides composure. Although a circle is not often found in nature, when it is, it’s associated with the profound. Additionally, blue is the colour which was given it’s name last in many cultures, due its absence in nature. It is most dominantly found back in the sky and the sea, both of which are vast. These combined elements create the opportunity to reflect on what it means to become lost in the calm of life.
