Biography
The paintings I make touch on the iconic, sentimental, eternal, infinite and mortal. They embody absence, silence, the sublime, solitude and death. They teeter uneasily on the edge of illusion; where reality and imagination become hazy, manifesting the physical and the metaphysical; grounded by the earthly, chasing the unearthly.
The spaces created have traces of human presence, architecture or artifacts, once glorious, now destroyed, decayed or abandoned: leaving an aching vacuum, a sense of physical isolation and psychological solitude. Within this lies contemplation of the eternal and spiritual; the suggestion of crumbling humanity brings focus back to the time of The Fall, and the departure from the Garden of Eden.
The work hangs between time and space, lingering in history and the future, the natural and the ethereal. A collision of fantasy, reality, science and myth.
