'Recent
work is a re-structuring of memories of personal experiences and
places discovered, with an aim to encounter more intangible images
through paint.
Elemental forces and natural phenomena mutate to uncover underlying
layers of experience which relate to the psychic as much as the
physical world. Energy contained within landscape and how we relate
to landscape is translated into sensory and seductive qualities
of colour, light and texture. Balancing ideas of the impossible
existence of wild nature with the human need to control it, each
painting is an outcome of a dramatic interplay of investigative
marks and processes that explore the ever-changing relationship
we have with the world around us'.
