‘Little By Little’

The Design Files, Collingwood Melbourne, May 2024

ARTIST STATEMENT

‘Little By Little’ is a collection of 23 pieces that I worked on in small moments throughout the last year. Serving as an exercise to challenge myself to lean into the slow process of art making and tame my need for instant gratification. a theme that can often dominate my work and personal life.

In recent years I’ve tried to change my approach to see progress not as something that is achieved through hustle, stress and adrenaline but with just a little bit of meaningful work each day.
This phrase “little by little” is often something I say to myself when I feel frustrated and also refers to the way my little people — my two young daughters approach painting with a playful freedom that I find inspiring.
