Catalogue quotations about previous work:
"What interests me is that you are able to produce images that appear calm out of such intensity or violence, yet that remain threatening. It is that sense of vulnerability combined with a troubling vitality that is fascinatng because so fragile, as if you have caught a moment of tension or poise between two such opposing states."
Simon Groom in conversation with Jane Dixon for the catalogue to accompany the exhibition 'Solid Sate: reflections upon the real' which she exhibited in and curated for Kettles' Yard, Cambridge in 2001.
"Her work is about vulnerability. It is about the human body, although the body is almost never present. It adresses the fears and sensations that the body engenders and arouses. Her paintings map the extent of our fragility and articulate the sensation of containment within fallible, organic, imperfect bodies. They speak eloquently of simple but important truths: of our need to hide our failings, to protect our weakness: they negotiate fundamental human paranoias - medical invasion, decrepitude, the threat of violence - and our fear of what is inevitable."
Ben Tufnell, curator at Tate Britain (taken from Under False Colours, 2004)
