Interface is a series of paintings set in hotel bedrooms. With the inclusion of mirrors, reflections and a camera phone, a sense of staging is apparent and the triangulation of camera, mirror and viewer invites the observer into the narrative. This triangulation also considers self-knowledge as being sited at the interface of the individual and communicating others.
