The calm facture of my paintings contrasts with an interplay of plane and depth, which leads to a tension between the abstract quality of the images and the subjects suggested.
I abstain from planning by instigating a non-linear state in which colours from one image
are transposed onto another. Continued application and removal leads to a fluid
relationship between layers of paint, which are then fixed in the final work.
