Artist Statement
I paint what the mind glimpses, what dissolves when named too quickly — mental, sensory, and emotional impressions of contemporary life, with its disrupted patterns and intangible forms.
As a painter and digital designer, my practice explores the threshold between intuition and computation, inviting viewers to reflect on the screens they engage with, from digital displays to the inner landscapes of imagination, memory, and dreams.
Through distortion and ambiguity, addition and subtraction, my process-led paintings bridge the virtual and the spiritual, becoming visual investigations of perception — at times fragmented, at times profoundly interconnected.
Time to Time
Safehouse, Peckham
Unprimed Collective returns to Safehouse, Peckham in May withTime to Time,an exhibition that engages with notions of time, timelessness, consciousness and memory.
Time to Time is the third exhibition from Unprimed, a group of international artists who are alumni of the 22/23 Turps Correspondence Course. In this new show, Unprimed will re-inhabit and re-animate the stripped-back domestic interiors of Safehouse with paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures and performance.
We’ve been here before and we may return, while Safehouse stands silent - its wallpaper hanging in fragments and its floorboards creaking beneath our feet.

"Selec’s work investigates the glitch, something that is mysterious, unknowable and usually temporary
or short-lived. This transient fault is intrinsically difficult to troubleshoot and therefore hard to pin down in technological terms and life! The same can be said of the effects of uncertainty and the anxiety caused by technology and consuming media. The layers of glitch on glitch can confuse us further and thus mounts the tension and anxiety."
~ Karen Parker, Intersilient
“I find that nothing articulates virtual as well as the glitch does. Like beauty, it commands our attention, and wakes us up. We notice being plucked out of immediate reality and sucked into a virtual one.
As digital noise blurs the boundaries between the tangible and the ephemeral,
I invite the viewer into such a mindful opportunity.”
