Processing

Processing is a series born from the turbulence of the COVID pandemic and a sudden personal rupture. Conceived as a raw, cathartic response to grief and upheaval, the works chart an inner reckoning with loss, isolation, resilience, and transformation.

Through layered surfaces and restless mark-making, each painting embodies a shifting stage of emotion. The monochromatic canvases hold tension and ambiguity, reflecting uncertainty and disorientation. The warmer hues—red, magenta, yellow—signal moments of release, resilience, and fragile renewal.

Control collides with chaos, clarity with obscurity, mirroring the unpredictable nature of healing: not linear, but cyclical, often contradictory. The series gives form to the act of “processing” itself—where turmoil slowly reorganises into new possibility.

Created in solitude yet resonant with collective experience, these abstract compositions invite viewers to touch the depths of their own emotional landscapes, to recognise that grief and renewal are intertwined, and that in disorder there is the seed of transformation.
