An intensification of colour, pattern and motifs of domestic decoration collide on a repetitious overloaded surface. A new series of works examining a delirious experience of interior decoration, where a surfeit of ornament may evoke sensations of delight or of suffocation. Other works in this series operate through reduction, mashing elements from high art and domestic decoration in poptastic colour combinations. The work draws on sources from textile and wallpaper craft processes and design since the 18th Century, Decadent and Gothic literature of the late 19th Century and psychedelia.
