Artist's Statement
My work is engaged with the interconnected effects of trade, people, place, story and memory on identity. Using a limited range of pigments selected both for their beauty and their resonanace within the history of trade and mark making I create abstract images which resonate with forgotten stories, creating spaces to remember.
Each painting is vreated using hand mixed paints from raw pigment, and composed in order to create a feeling of space, using in particular tone and gloss/matt effect to suggest space. In addition in some of the paintings features of landscape are borrowed to provide structure. In this way building up very flat surfaces using thin glazez of paint I am able to create the illusion of suggested ambiguos space.
The work is an act of conscious remembrance of the history of trade and its impact on people, the pieces themselves are an invitation to the viewer to fall in, to get a little lost and to remember.
