Picture
My paintings begin life with a certain amount of repetitive mark making using fluid acrylic paint on canvas or board and continue in an intuitive way through various actions including layering, obliteration and paint viscosity. A finished work may form part of a concentrated series or find itself singularly isolated with its own unique visual language.

I combine painting with printmaking, in particular, silkscreen, collagraph and monoprint. Occasionally, I explore 3D structures using paper, wax, twine and plaster.

I am interested in the decline of memory; the ebbing ability to recall the minutiae of every day life and/or past events. This condition may lead to a disjointed and fragmented state of mind in which order is sought out of chaos and distress.

A series of experimental paper scrolls (Secrets & Lies 2019/20) have furthered and informed my original concept and this is reflected in my recent paintings where lines create a loose grid, breaking up the canvas with blocks of colour forming a 'page'. Pages may remain empty or 'written on' in an abstract form.
