"These are an ongoing series of works around the ‘To Do’ list, my ambivalence towards them, their restrictive, yet useful nature, how they are doodled on, ripped up and scribbled on and ultimately, how they mark the passage of time rather like a mostly, but not always, dull diary entry.

The Mickey Mouse inspired character for me has become a symbol of feeling stifled. I imagined how it must be for the human being inside the mouse costume, all that heat, the weight, the discomfort, constantly being justled, demanded of and all anyone can see is a big grinning mouse!

I would think we all can relate to this experience in some manner, feeling trapped by the roles and tasks that are inevitable in life."
