Artist statement
‘My work develops a vocabulary of imagery that explores ideas to do with memory, the subjective nature of our experience and “mental space”. The paintings have qualities of spatial displacement, and ambiguity, with images derived from various sources. As well as creating images I am interested in exploiting the material qualities and elements of chance and suggestion that the manipulation of paint on different surfaces can bring about, whether it be on a large scale in oil and wax on canvas or the fluidity of work in watercolour on paper.

It is important for me to work quickly and intuitively; I see each work as a journey that unfolds, very much in the moment and there is a sense of a “stream of consciousness” in different scales and formats.’
