2024

Despite its arbitrariness, each new year engenders the feeling of a fresh start.

This year is seeing a greater acknowledgement of landscape as source. References include memories of places, mood, geological structures and transient phenomena such as weather, erosion, time and sound.

As ever, the main challenge of each painting is to find a balance between the formalities of abstraction and the need to reflect on the world outside the studio while allowing the painting’s shifting internal dynamics to determine the final degree of balance between figuration and abstraction.
