UPDATE*** July 26
I am pushing ahead with play and with responding to various places, spaces and context with colour and light. Shadow from gesture is a central preoccupation that links us all to our ephemeral selves and connects us to the past and the future…shadows from expressions, shadows that refuse to be touched, can offer permanent movement and a shifting of shapes.
October 2025:
I recently recognised that the method I have always used to make art has been through play, and it is with this realisation that propelled me to share this method of playing and making together with other people. I graduated from the RCa in the late 90s and my thesis compared play with the act of painting. I was always dissatisfied with the immutable hold paint had with image, and my work became a journey to discover how I could use paint that may promise a dilocation with image.
Everything you may have thought painting was or could be has been smashed away in my work 2022-2025. Authorship, product, place, inifinitely imaged, participatory, movement based and ephemeral, I have reaquainted myself with the urgency and power paint as an expressive vehicle has.#
My work evolves into the capturing of moments, of context.…work made in the Now, the present ..snapshots of who we are.
I am currently combining threads of my public faced work with the method of making in my practice, within the realm of play. I am pushing way beyond ‘process’ to consider Art as a verb…it is the doing that counts…multi authored, timebased, learning and finding out.
People have described my work as both 'a disruptor of light, play and expectation', 'generous', and that my work has the 'nobility of education'.
