Why this?

My wide-ranging practice brings together paintings, sculptures and prints; with a respect and an eye for colour, form and the discipline of making. Thematically it connects with the emotional moments of sudden awareness that we can encounter. It asks, how do memory, longing, mourning, dreaming mesh together to give us a sense of place and self?

I find, day to day, the need to place time and energy into making art work, using a language of observation and reflection to make sense of experience. As small as it is, it is an occupation of slow witness, one that stands counter to man’s capacity for short termism and blindness. It starts a conversation which connects me with others. It does not preclude moral activism, but provides a focus for values to emerge.
