I work in various media, primarily painting and mixed media.
Recent work, shown here, combines, mainly painting and collage. A combination of differing techniques has been used to apply the paint. Several of the paintings have been produced in multiples, of uniform size and have been painted over existing surfaces – beer mats or old photographs, and then arranged on a canvas to be viewed as a single piece.
The black and white works, reminiscent of photographic sequences, are concerned with the actual physical surface.
In some of the semi-abstract scenes there are signs of the presence of figures which appear as traces of the past, as isolated individuals, often in conflict with or overwhelmed by their surroundings.
