My practice is an honest response to my environment and surroundings, almost like a diary. I use colour, motifs, forms and lines to hint at places, spaces and things. I’m naturally nostalgic, drawn to details like the pattern of a tile, light falling into a room, and textures of a wall. Painting has become a way of holding onto memories of places. Working from recollections creates areas on the canvas that are undefinable but sometimes familiar. They sit between representation and abstraction. A big part of my practice is letting the physical process of painting shift the work and allowing the material to guide my hand. The paintings evolve slowly, reworking and sometimes stealing sections from another canvas I'm working on.
