Exhibition Statement
Who Do I Cater to Now brings together two bodies of work developed over the past year, placing them in direct conversation with one another. While each body was created with contradicting intentions, their encounter reveals an ongoing dialogue, suggesting shared underlying themes and values that emerge both consciously and subconsciously. Rooted in contrasting material approaches, the exhibition presents a series of oil paintings alongside a body of charcoal drawings, inviting viewers to consider how differences in medium, process, and purpose can generate unexpected connection.
