My work is an endless following of my own curiosity. I want to see where I can get to starting from here. My aims are often graphic or about materials. It's about the doing of it.
For me, the act of looking is so pleasurable and so complex. We have these heads full of wave receptors (two eyes and two ears) attached to a story-telling-machine (brain). We go about with our heads thinking we are seeing the world as it is - we are actually interpreting and embroidering with a morass of associations, memories and imagination. What the world looks like is infinitely complex and mysterious.
I work between two and three dimensions; making flat or shallow relief pieces that hang on a wall. They function as paintings but they are often made out of cut paper with painted or drawn additions. My work has been quite intimate in scale - about the size of my two hands - until recently when I’ve been exploring larger scale works; making gouache on corrugated cardboard pieces up to 1 x 2 metres.
Every time I write an artist's statement I change my mind and go do something else.
