My art is a layering of surfaces that emerge, float and then sink away as another layer slowly rises.

I am interested in paint and its application.

The many ways paint can be manipulated, rubbed and layered to hide and then reveal images and movement beneath it’s surface.

I like to seduce the viewer initally with the overall flash of colour and binding image. But to then draw the viewer in closer so they can explore and discover smaller pockets of interest within the work -

secrets that sink beneath the surface as the viewer moves away again.

Wrapping these ideas of paint and the layering of surfaces is a longstanding interest in fabric.

The richness of fabric with it’s seducing colours and designs.

The weft and warp of thread that stretch and pull allowing hazy images to be seen through it’s interlocking surface.
