My compositions are all processes of 'looking to be still' or 'to distil'. Many works are influenced by the Isle of Wight, exploring coastal and rural landscapes; and path, plimsoll, plumb and horizon lines. There is a leveling effect to looking as far or as deeply as you can. I am interested in revealing hidden places, sensations, truths and stories through studying journeys, people and objects. Achieving stillness or distilling an idea in paint is an active process, its anything but still until you’ve achieved it; much like going for a walk. Getting lost can be part of it. I think that's why I like working large scale and incorporating walking, clay, found objects, writing and sounds as parts of my practice; they all centre and ground me in some way.
I enjoy teaching as part of my practice and also manage the studios through Adumbration Arts Ltd.
