It is a careful strategy of my practice to remain as open as I can and communicate with an economy of imagery. In an attempt to reduce values to simple states I aim to open a forum to consider underlying attitudes and relationships.

My paintings explore meaning as an outcome of relationships. I have an interest in how meaning is made by forming connections between subjects.

An aim of my work is to identify a relationship between people and the world. My strategy is to demonstrate comparisons, to stimulate an enquiry and propose a refreshed sence of identification.

Typically, the people in my paintings are naked and not participating in an obvious narrative. I seek to limit the references to social and historical context in order to focus on the immediacy of presence, relatedness and materials. The paintings depict life under these conditions and draw attention to the body’s organic state. In the corresponding images of my paintings I depict spaces. These can range from open skies to fixed areas of land. They are absent from subjects and so can represent a position between abstract values and material space.
