Caroline's paintings are formalised fictions concerned with the strange or ambiguous which can arise in the everyday and banal; exploring notions of disappointed expectation, faded grandeur...what could have been.

Investigating the domestic situation through the presence (and sometimes absence) of the human form within an emotive space, the paintings tend to present a vision of domesticity devoid of the warmth one might usually associate with the home (use of lighting and shadow, drab and dated interiors etc.). The viewer is intended to passively observe the idiosyncracies and oddities of people's everyday lives and personal habits, and ponder the narrative, if any, surrounding its subjects.
