ARTIST INFO
About
The intersection of the man-made with the natural world form the basis of my work. Negative capability; the capacity to accept mystery and doubt rather than the demand for certainty, provides a useful insight into my approach to painting. In allegorical motifs or more oblique atmospheres, the work seeks to capture a place where uncomfortable realities seep in; a search for belonging, a presentiment of loss, anxiety and entropy. Hope too is evident; nature, redemptive if indifferent, is cherished for all its tangled complexity.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork
These works are all watercolour or ink on paper. Studies like this are how I often get ideas for larger paintings. The characters can be seen as a cast of imagined figures who in occupying my inner landscapes act as a kind of conduit for my thoughts and emotions.
