I work between the mediums of drawing and painting. I work in ongoing series often alongside each other, the still life paintings examine everyday objects and ornaments that sit side by side on shelves and ledges or in cabinets. The notes and drawings are the starting point for the paintings it then becomes the constant shifts that happen on the...

My work is a mixture of works on paper and site specific installations. I use drawing, printmaking, collage, assemblage and textiles to create largely figurative works that depict everyday objects and places. I like that objects can describe a place, a time, a person or community through the way that they have been used or left. I draw attention...

My practice considers where our disenchanted, secularised world a sense of the religious fails to be suppressed, either through unacknowledged ideological attachments (a dogmatic sense of what is correct or true) or through the seductive, mesmerising appeal of contemporary art.  The work arises from a fascination with the rhetoric...

Having once been told by a drawing tutor that if you only draw the outside you only get the outside, I decided to investigate this further. Using the idea that the more you are given the less you get I strip back the visual to its essential elements before inviting the viewer in to flesh out the work again. Working with lines, loops, layers,...

I am interested in the perceptual instability within spatial representation, particularly within the discipline of painting. I am interested in how space is articulated pictorially and how the physical space it inhabits can enter into this discourse. Many of my works are site-responsive and are created to react and call attention to the...

I make images of space and structure. I seek to document the place in which I exist by indexing the personal, social and political. I can only work from the experienced. The contours of the 'man-made' negotiated daily within the high street and suburban dwelling form the structure of much of my work. My intention is not to illustrate environment...

I work with oil on canvas.  There is an important relationship between the media used and the ideas I am dealing with.  Ideas are formed through the process of making.  The distinct qualities of the work come from the individual manner in which paint is handled and a sensitivity towards colour. I am interested in both the value and...

The use of various methods, like travel, video, sound, choreography, performance and writing, sits in the expanded notion of my work – where new and obsolete technologies reflect one another as the analogue and digital swap places; modes of representation are questioned as they blend in each other or dissolve and reveal, or obscure,...

My new work on paper. As in my former work the grid remains a fundamental part of each piece. However the change from oil, as a medium, to watercolour, has resulted in a significant shift in my concerns. This new work explores pattern and repetition, but celebrates difference. We recognise symmetry and repetition as reassuring. The...

Concepts Through painting, drawing, collage and cardboard constructions my current work develops an ongoing interest in visual perception where foregrounds and backgrounds hold an ambiguous relationship to create certain levels of flatness. I question what is negative space when it is given priority? Does it still remain negative when it is the...

I am a visual artist whose practice forms an investigative process. I am interested in recording, collecting and organising. I look at everyday things, objects, spaces and landscapes, and manipulate representation and qualities, making situations seem more apparent, close, slight and or transient. Drawings, collages and recordings explore and...

Through an intuitive response to architecture and cinematic imagery I attempt to explore the ways in which we relate to imagery both as a singular representative object and as a pervasive decorative form in wallpapers, embellished ceilings and staircases.Currently my work refers to classical and Baroque interiors. Using traditional materials and...

My practice is a pictorialist one, involving mainly photography, painting and drawing, underpinned by the legacies and practices of conceptualism. In this way, I aim to work in and around issues of picturing, photography and realism as a set of problematics. Commentators have remarked upon my works' Romanticism but also its schizophrenic...

Influenced by architecture and history and starting from manipulated found imagery, my own photographs, or small 3-d models, my paintings often echo a haunting sense of beauty and decadence.  The images depict semi fictitious places that sit between disorientating theatricality and operatic futility. The true subject of the works however is...

Concepts My practice is not tied to a specific medium. It often involves the use of manufactured objects or their re-making in a foreign material or scale. It is the mutability of objects that interests me. I enjoy the creation of paradoxes and disruption of known meanings. Influences Politics, Humour, Life,...

My work explores the concepts of power, politics, history, identity and death through irony and humour. I am interested in how they influence beliefs and perceptions by altering and subverting them. From here derives the desire to further explore the need for uncertainty and the metaphysical loneliness of the human being, addressing such...
