My main concern is merging the body within the landscape.  Each painting is an attempt to fuse these together within the pictorial space, sensitively questioning their unity.  The space ends up complex, abstracted, distilled into lines, shapes and organic patterns.  These paintings are explored with feeling.  The paint and...

It is about the recollection of elusive and ethereal memories drawing from my own experience of loss and self-negation; the desire to be hidden and yet to be seen.Making works in various...

My painting practice explores a sense of place, the fleeting and floating subject and the relationship between painter and nature. From 2003, I created a series of bubble island paintings that marked a distinct departure from earlier abstract surface works which explored two surfaces coming together and ‘touching’. The further...

My practice focuses on an investigation into our visual system and the way we interact with visual information. This is primarily explored through drawing employing a wide range of approaches that are sometimes sculptural or time based outcomes. My drawing work doesn't seek to undermine the conventions of drawing but instead proposes a new...

My practice explores the notion of a dualistic distinction between the mental and physical realms as understood in spatial terms, and furthermore, my reading of spatial perception as being the active straddling of these two states as an experienced condition of connection, disconnection and flux.This interest stems from my personal experience of...

My practice as a fine artist is in creating images with materials, mostly sculptural, with an interest in expressing an archetypal way of seeing the world. Myth has been an important reference throughout my work as they contain layers and patterns of meaning called archai which underlie the culture of societies throughout the world, as much...

Whether figurative or abstract, most of my work is about landscape, its space, structure and content. Daily walks in every season provide me with the imagery which feeds into my painting both consciously and subconsciously. Shapes, lines and marks may come from what is solid and permanent or slight and transient. My colours may be inspired or...

I use and re-use motifs derived from familiar places or situations, mainly painted, but sometimes explored through different media. These are then presented in a variety of ways. Often reflected or refracted within a loose framing; within the confines of an installation, a collection of painted images or leading to a...

I use found imagery often from You Tube or the Internet as source material for my drawings. These clips and images range from holiday snaps, images of motorways, planes or images taken from a car window or caravan. In a society where the computer and the screen is so central to our lives I am interesting in exploring how his technology is...

I was born Monday 1st August 1977 and I'm, essentially, a painter. Sometimes I use a knife instead of a brush; a controlled act of violence. A painting can be more than the image on, or what is cut out of, a canvas. It can be the object as a whole; frame, title (essential), or empty space in the canvas. The "happy accidents" in the...

Intentions, Propositions and Influences The minimum of figurative content and subject matter in these paintings draws attention to their form and language and to their process of production which involves a set of rules and methods from which new and unforeseen forms will emerge. Each work involves a number of progressions based on...

Reading is an act of co-authorship. When you pick up a book and read it, what you bring to that process is your own personal history. This is a filter through which we perceive language and by which we forge connections. My use of the book as sculptural object playfully reworks its formal components allowing the 'reader' to experience...

I am inspired by the painterly process and its relation to abstraction, and feel passionate about engaging with the subject of borders, edges and peripheries.  I have always been drawn to places which could be described as borderlands, geographically and psychologically but also which have been rendered throughout history by painters and...

These paintings depict objects in the landscape with the sky behind them. They do not represent particular places but explore the relationships between contrasting man-made and natural forms, more as outdoor still-life paintings than conventional landscapes.The space surrounding these objects acts as a backdrop for what are effectively characters...

Living in limbo between the angst of fine art and the therapy of making my work challenges both identity and preconception whilst at first glance appearing homely and domestic. I enjoy the 'out of place', the unexpected, the bizarre and I am an avid photographer who makes a constant visual record as an 'aide-mémoire' both at home and on my...

The body and its relationship to the space that surrounds it inspire my sculpture. Absence and Presence are recurrent themes within my work as these sculptures are the physical depiction of the negative space around the figure. I have recently used resin to make sculptures of stiletto shoes that include an impression of the wearer's feet....

My paintings inhabit the border between abstraction and figuration and have their basis in exploration through seeing and engagement with the tactility of the process. I draw on a wide range of sources from the most obvious classical themes in painting to the subtlety of philosophical and mystical thought. In making paintings I am absorbed in the...

We are all spectators. – Our consumer culture, our excesses, renders us privileged to the global politicised force of the modern image. But are we harmed by the media's relentless obsession or are we anesthetised by the glut of ceaseless traffic? By the sheer mobility and accessibility of images have our expectations risen to accept a...

I live on the east coast. Each day I make drawings about things happening in the landscape; often returning to the same places for months at a time, sometimes just walking and seeing what happens. I use these drawings in the studio to improvise and rehearse possible ways to turn observation into painting. I look for things in the drawings that...

Lock's practice straddles fact and fiction, truth and the fake. Weaving new narratives of history and myth through a complicated and sometimes mysterious tale of heartache of heartache, lust and delusional thinking, Lock allows her practice to accumulate, take unfathomable journeys and elicit deceit to create part encrypted biography and...
