Beyond our vision and our perception bias there are worlds that operate on rules different than our own. There are light waves that our eyes can’t perceive and sounds that our ears can’t hear and yet there they are operating alongside our own universe, ticking at their own pace and rhythm. My Alien Landscapes bring together similar alien ecosystems of biomorphic elements and inorganic forms cohesively into a state of terraria imitating clusters.The artworks are an agglomerate of elements from the natural world and the world of fiction This series explores our age of mutating ecosystems. Of the ever increasing noise and the constant friction between rigid systems that fray at the edges, often making way for more vibrant, flexible, inclusive systems, metamorphosing and morphing into lush bio diverse ecosystems of plankton, plastic, Pan’s labyrinth and jelly beans. Of micro plastics in our blood streams swimming alongside what may have been the last sigh of a stegosaurus as it watched fire fall from the sky, the thinning of the veil between the real & the surreal.
Akin to a tealeaf reader, I want the viewer to explore these works, mapping splatters, drips and an entanglement of lines and biomorphic clusters, and be witness to a lush lateral view which allows for new possibilities and magic.

PetriScapes
I’m such a sucker for mounted faux animal heads (you know the origami shaped one or the kinds made with paper mache?), terrariums & Butterfly displays.
Obviously I was also always intrigued by specimen slides, boxes and bottles, during my time spent in the biology labs . They seemed to have a certain otherworldly feel about them, eerie at times but always fascinating .

Why biology labs? If you have been recently introduced to my art, you may not know yet that I didn’t formally study art. I am self-taught, and that I have a BSc in Zoology. While I don’t remember why exactly I chose to study Zoology, I like to say that it was for my love for drawing in journals Going to art school may have been a more normal logical thing to do, yes, but whoever said there was anything logical about my creative journey, ja? Normal. Schnormal. Pfft.😒While the story about love for drawing in journals may or may not be the entire truth, what is definitely true is that much of the art I make is influenced and inspired by my time spent in biology class. Also, I DID create a series of stylized zoology journal drawings in October 2016 as part of the Inktober series for the month, so.
The biology inspiration may not always be very obvious in my art anymore due to the morphed nature of cellular crosscections, fangs, flora and fungi, amalgamated with fairytale inspirations, graphic elements and Rock candy in my Alienlandscapes, the influence however still remains.
My new works from the Alienlandscapes series is an ode to all those specimen display boxes full of wondrous creatures, bits & bobs. I now present to you my box of alien butterflies , feathers and flora , and everything else in between, these are the PetriScapes. Hope you like them as I have enjoyed creating them.

Love & Other things
For the love of sunny cocoons, happy berries, jelly beans and confetti. The painting depicts some of my favourite things, a fantastical carnival-esque world, complete with candy trails, a burst of the floral and biomorphic masses growing into an otherworldly ecosystem.Like some of my other works, it is a piece about chaos and finding order in chaos. It is about metamorphosis, of letting go of the old and welcoming the newThis series – Alien landscapes, brings together imaginary multifarious ecosystems of biomorphic elements alongside the abiotic forms cohesively into a state of terrarium imitating conglomerates.Love & Other things, Alienlandscapes, 202140x30in • Mixed media on gallery wrapped canvasPrice on RequestQuick View -

Bouquets for your jiggledom
This year had me refocused on larger artworks, and more specifically on my Alien Landscapes series. So it seemed only right to end the year with another work from the series that for me is a perfect representation of the dramatic, slippery, wobbly year gone by, that came with spots of whimsy, color and bouquets where one least expected them.Of black iceJello castlesRooster’s comb &Gyp bouquetsBouquets for your jiggledom, Alienlandscapes, 202030x40in • Mixed media on gallery wrapped canvasPrice on RequestQuick View -
