My latest work is looking inwards and responding to the feeling of the our collective need to speed up the process of making the right choices in regards to the climate and how we make a mark whilst we are here on this planet. With this shift the brush stokes and colours are lighter. I sense restlessness within young people, with many of my contemporaries questioning their purpose too, this urge for change within what our society deems valuable is also embedded in the energy of the new work.
