Exploring infinite possibilities within a finite space.
I am an abstract artist whose practice explores the infinite possibilities within a finite space. Painting primarily in oils, the limitations of the picture plane, tools and material provide a framework for exploration.
I do not plan my compositions in advance, instead choosing a simple starting point from which to respond. These beginnings take many forms from observational drawing, to utilising chance and randomness. A few directional marks drawn with a brush is often enough to initiate a conversation with the painting with each decision both informing the next and changing the context of that which has gone before.
For me, the transformational act of painting is more important than the outcome. Through this dance of colour, texture and form, I work until I feel the painting becomes resolved or until I see no way forward, scraping back the surface to begin afresh or abandoning the painting completely. Though these works appear separate, I view the work as a continually unravelling process, a thread which when pulled, leads me in unknown and exciting directions.
