Painting
As a painter of landscapes, I am continually experimenting and looking for new ways of presenting a more ‘experiential’ terrain, where the process of ‘mapping’ the work surface runs parallel to the exploration of an external or internal (imaginary) topography.
While dealing with formal and aesthetic qualities of line, shape, space, colour and texture at one level, my current work also concerns more abstract elements of time, motion, mood and memory, often evoked through materials employed such as medical gauze, metal springs or glass collected from smashed car windscreens after a theft. Musical influences have insinuated themselves into my recent work. These are manifested in a new visual vocabulary of resonating bars and lines which set the tempo of colour sound.
