I
make work that is either figurative or semi abstract landscape,
both arising from the act of drawing, not primarily as an observed
record – but describing experience, memory and the impermanence of
events.
I feel it is important not to
control too much, so allowing an intuitive response to the unexpected.
Processes are important and I
may use layering and mixed media, allowing materials to reveal
something workable, something that communicates personal encounters,
maybe on the ocean, surfing, sailing ……..isolating events and people
from my personal diary
I try to simplify and to look
fresh at a time, a space, an object removed from its surroundings,
often just glimpsed and revealed.
