Statement

The most a maker of images can hope for is that, for a moment, he or she can divert the viewer from the daily round.

These works in some cases hope to “create a pause” by a fermentation process, where a metaphoric transformation or interpretation into an enduring image occurs. Whether this process succeeds or fails I leave to the viewer.

I believe a painting has to be experienced as an intuitive, feeling function, some of which is subliminal and therefore difficult to intellectualise.

All works are in oil on canvas, some heavily textured; advancement and recession where appropriate are created by thickness of paint as well as tonal values.

The website gallery will be added to from a stock of work completed in 2006-07. I hope you like some of them.
