paintings 2004-2007
These paintings are from a variety of projects I made between 2004 and 2007.
- the untold storyboard – using a limited palette of colours to express re-imagined scenes from my own life. It is as if these images are a storyboard to a movie of my life which was never actually made.
- women's work – a series which comprises of well over 100 images which attempts to externalise the inner turmoil of unexpressed emotions of guilt, anger, feeling trapped, conflicting demands, and disempowerment which often accompany the roles of wife, mother, housekeeper and woman.
- she – a series of paintings of the female face, each expressing a different facet of myself, a typical woman: emotions, personality traits and life stages.
- observing the shoppers – imagined lives of ladies who shop. Based on photographs and life drawings made in a shopping mall.
