Process based paintings are centred around chance and instinct to create ambiguous formations and shapes. The images should be considered as stand-alone or self-informing; this potentially causes uncertainty as to what one can discover within the formations. At this point the work becomes constantly intriguing and limitless.

The aim is to create dynamic tensions between elements within the paintings, particularly between the idea of figure and ground. It may be that there are several figural allusions within the compositions or that the viewer is the figure as they view and interact with the work. Engagement between viewer and materiality of the paint is vital and can allow insights into individual personal emotions, anxieties and experiences of life, tensions aim to emphasise this.

Subject matter has become redundant; the visual and physical qualities of the paint take on a prominent front. Large painting compositions potentially allow the viewer to become immersed within the image. Dynamic sculptural textures, colour and shape possibly allow a viewer to investigate more closely and visually enter the image.

Our species has become increasingly disconnected from nature. I focus on landscapes of personal significance and/or landscapes that have been disrupted by industrial use. Materials from these sites (often rocks, muds, and bricks) are used through a process-orientated...

Non-linear narratives such as unreliable memories, leaky dreams and deja vu are a central reference within my practice. I address the structure of these forms of narrative using repetition, replication and iterations of time. My work is largely sculptural, using...

In my current practice I am concerned with the objectivity and phenomenology of colour. Through using media such as light and coloured acetate, my present work is intentionally focused and uncluttered, allowing colour to be considered as a singularity without any...

With a love for colour my work addresses form and shape and the impact this has on a space. I am demonstrating how the use of bright colour can create maximum optical impact. I’m interested in pattern and repetition to create a visual aesthetic whilst whilst working...
