Goose and bow 4

from £950.00

Lately, my work has been exploring themes of adolescence: that charged period of self-discovery, experimentation, and identity-building. This piece taps into the teenage experience of trying on new personas, often through bold clothing choices—those strong visual signifiers we use to find a sense of belonging among like-minded peers. It's about the push and pull of rebellion: dressing in ways that challenge parental expectations, feeling awkward yet strangely empowered in unfamiliar styles.

I see this unfolding now in my own children, and it brings back vivid memories of my own teenage years—those moments of uncertainty, defiance, and the search for connection and self.

Oil on canvas 84cm x 59cm
