I am interested in capturing a lucent quality within my paintings whilst also retaining an abstract, Reductive feel.
I have always been fascinated by shapes, silhouettes, and simplified motifs.
Until recently my practice revolved around escapism; from everyday life into the natural world. However, my focus has now shifted from vast landscape vistas to geometric abstraction.
I believe that this move to a much more structured process is due to the fact that, having spent the last three years in a city that I love, escapism is no longer a major concern within my work. It is aspects of the city, such as repetitive architectural details, light reflecting from windows, and shadows cast by buildings that are currently influencing my paintings.
As part of my latest project 'Crystal Abstracts', I have also been looking at microcosm and macrocosm and the idea of universal designs which span the cosmos. I have been especially inspired by crystal formations.
