    Libraries | 2017 - 2018

These paintings take libraries as their subject. I am most interested in libraries as spaces that support learning and the general cultivation of thought in a social and political climate where fact-based expertise might be less valued. I feel that painting is an appropriate medium to depict library interiors, which are not only typically quiet and still, but have an air of permanence. Library interiors also provide me with an opportunity to further explore my formal painterly interests in space, stillness, order and colour.
