Marks accumulate, collide and intersect, opening up space. Slow and fast, short and long, marks also record the activity of their making. The autographic mark, the sign of the maker, is important in my practice. They allow equivalents to be found to things in the visible world and allow the body-in-space to be made present. Mark-making is freewheeling, experimental, open to experience.

I’m inspired by many artists who have incorporated gesture into their work. From the blot landscapes of Alexander Couzens to the Zen inspired works of Brice Marden, there’s a wide spectrum of historic and contemporary practice which informs my work.
I hope that the artist’s gesture can in turn reach out and touch the viewer.
