Gesture Attempts Escape Again

I explore ideas of transformation and mutation through the drawing or painting process, creating and obliterating as the work progresses,
from a single subject or colour, to layers of indistinguishable multiples. Each layer leads to a less tangible or obvious image, and a richer, deeper world of form and colour.

Each piece of work I embark on is an experiment, and where accident and catastrophe have their place. I do not start anything with a specific image as its readymade conclusion, I prefer to let the work develop progressively. I hope that the finished work will intrigue and draw in the spectator with
hints of the journey taken, the struggle that went into it, leaving traces of something intangible and more ambiguous in its place.
