Biography
It is a central concept of cyclical movement and change that I aim to convey in the paintings. The imagery moves from figuration to abstraction, from observed object to a painterly depiction of psychological space. Within the space of the painting a shape begins to look like an animal or part of a person, tree or structure, references to Old Master paintings appear juxtaposed with everyday references. Formally and psychologically I am attempting to bring together different elements into a cohesive whole.
