I want to develop a language in paint that is analogous to my visual
experience. The way into this is through marks and colour. What
excites me about creating marks is how one thing leads to another.
Mark making translates intuition into visual meaning. This meaning
develops in the process of painting when I re-organize seeming
accidents into a structure. The compositional use of decorative
pattern and symmetries create specific sensations that vibrate with
reminiscences of place and time. Using a visual vocabulary of vivid
colour, abstract marks, spots, swirls and gestural strokes, I want to
draw the viewer into a contemplative space, a space evocative of a
dreamlike landscape or an intimate interior. This space is as much
built with layerings of colour and shapes as it is conjured through
pictorial means. Because many elements are unfixed and free floating
they help secure a particular multiplicity of vision.
