I have always held a fascination with colour and form. My aim is to develop spatial balances, to try to bring together those elements in nature, which seem to hold significant relationships for me.

Abstraction is the vehicle for this process. Paintings become a study into understanding the ways in which images appear to me in their instances. Often the sights and images which appear before me are lost before remembered. They are continuously changing through time, before any attempt at capturing their construct can be made.


As all roads lead to one place, all convergences of colour and form lead to an image. These elements which make up the convergences are moving away in the flux of time, to form infinite new relationships.
I cannot hope to capture the true nature of an image, as the convergence is so instantaneous. I attempt to use the sense of movement and the uniqueness of the moment in the instance of my perceiving of it.



As a result of this approach to painting, my work can vary greatly in their content and levels of abstraction. Sometimes, it is a simple composition of form which strikes me as being painterly. Sometimes, a still image or scene will throw up interesting balances visually, and I work from these.



Working and enjoying the visual convergences in this way will hopefully invite the viewer to make a visual or emotive connection with a painting, and the way in which it has appeared for me.
