My work is an ongoing investigation into the notions of form, line, balance and colour. There is rarely a specific reference point, although the works do borrow from a wide lexicon of visual culture.
The work hopefully resonates through a language that is common across the spectrum of architecture, painting, sculpture and design.
I think that paring back to the basic principles serves to condense elements of these varying influences. What the work reflects through these connections isn't a conscious reference, it's more a symbiosis.
Engaged in a similar form to Haiku poetry, seemingly disparate elements in the work are cut and juxtaposed , as if compressing a wider experience, emphasising simplicity, intensity, and directness of expression.
