‘My work is grounded in the beauty and meaning that can be found in the everyday, in the mundane and the utilitarian, and in the unremarkable corners of home. It is an exploration of household objects and familiar surroundings and of the humour and significance of ordinary things. I am interested in the process and act of painting, the materiality of paint, the beauty of colour, and the weight of shadows. I am also drawn to the absorption of making work, the interplay of representation and abstraction, and the possibilities of working in between.’ — Kir Larwill
