陈列您的艺术作品给每天无数的访客观看

The stimulus for my work is a vast collection of visual memories and experiences of different locations. These include, for instance, architectural surfaces, peeling billboards and old boats whose rich textures and time-worn qualities intrigue me. I am particularly interested in the ephemera which trace a person’s existence by the surface marks that remain. I also collect found, everyday objects which are incorporated, unmodified, into my compositions.
One of my main working methods uses a process that resembles a type of artistic archaeology: the paint is physically layered up and selectively rubbed back to reveal previously worked areas. There is graffiti-ing of contrasting materials and use of diffused surfaces as well as a spontaneous, in- depth use of collage. One of my aims is to display an uninhibited process of manipulation and transformation. Innate colours are used expressively, reliving experiences of places, moods and feelings.
