The experience of living in the world and working in the
studio.
References act as anchors, albeit well worn and rusty at
times.
A work is recognised as complete when there is an
understanding of sense within it – an arrived
logic. Understanding fades over time, and the specifics
of the motive are partially forgotten, leaving
the works open for revision and reinterpretation. The
fact that my perception of a work changes
places me in a similar position to that of the viewer
seeing the work for the first time.
It is accepted that these works share the same genetics,
but each is worked on without regard for
'a whole' or in accordance with any singular, fixed
statement of intent.

This show comprises (mostly) small paintings, in a large
2600 sq ft gallery.
