In my work I am silently watching the natural world and trying to describe the relationsip between that landscape and an inner world. I paint, draw and scratch. Some work is made using a square format to create an undefined space, my choice of palette there is about referencing light rather than local colour; and whilst the repetition is governed by underlying structures - such as the shadows cast by the arc of the sun, or the growth of lichen - the work is more to do with the experience of looking, than a literal representation. My current work has moved from these Minimalist ideas of repetition, returning to a more figurative response now to the tree, and its heroic presence in our challenged and chaotic world - to this end the canvases are very small. What guides me is an interest and intention to move from the landscape to a quiet and contemplative inner world.
