In my life and creative work I focus on the aesthetics of environments underpinned by the process of painting itself.
In Berlin, Rügen, Suffolk and most recently Ireland and Poland I have compared actual appearances of locations with their representations in order to test the limits of observation and of the subject, moving between representational, optical and decorative modes.
