Particularly interesting were the things, both mundane and fantastic, that possessed a straightforward definition, but upon further pursuit might contain a story more complex in definition. This simultaneity of the brutally literal and the deeply metaphoric, as well as the success and failure of translation was very important to the work. The watercolour paintings I made were about "what you see is what you get" and "there is more than meets the eye", while at the same time exploring the gaps between and around these areas of perception where meaning exists and mutates.
