Type in the content of your page here. Process is important in my work, indeed the subject or final image sometimes becomes less important than the methods or procedures involved. I explore idea of transformation through the drawing or painting process, creating and obliterating as the work progresses, from a single subject or colour, to layers of indistinguishable multiples, each layer leading to a less tangible or obvious image, and a richer deeper world of colour. I like to take into consideration the role of the accident, which can occur in research and in the creation of artworks, especially with the physical act of drawing or painting, and to consider the place of the unpredictable within the creative process. Each piece of work I embark on is an experiment, to which the outcome is not predefined, and where accident and catastrophe have their place. I do not start anything with a specific image as its conclusion, but hope that the finished work will intrigue and draw in the spectator with hints of the struggle or process that went into it, which leave a trace of something intangible and more ambiguous in its place.
