We Went to Brazil

Paintings and Mixed Media, 2005–2007

Created in a London studio while dreaming of escape, tropical mythologies, and ecstatic embodiment, We Went to Brazil is a series of paintings and sculptural surfaces that revel in sensuality, chaos, and the unruly joy of color.

Each work is a site of intuitive excavation—where viscera meets confetti, cosmetic meets soil, and abstraction becomes a portal. These pieces emerged during a period of intense artistic freedom, using materials that included thick impasto paint, hair, synthetic colorants, glitter, wax, and even detritus. The works speak in a visual language that is both ornamental and guttural. 

​

​These works are not polite. They don’t ask permission. They ooze, accumulate, and assert themselves as presence—part altar, part wound, part celebration. This is painting as invocation.
