The Practice
Rooted in abstraction, the work unfolds through an intuitive process of layering, gesture, repetition and erasure — each mark responding to what already exists on the surface.
Scale as encounter
Large canvases turn painting into a physical act, not just a visual one. Movement, reach, balance and gravity become active elements — each piece a record of gesture.
Surfaces are built, disrupted, concealed and revealed — the canvas becomes a site of memory rather than a finished image.
Materials, found and familiar
Brushes and palette knives sit alongside everyday objects, released from their original purpose. Their residues of touch and use become embedded within the painted surface.
Colour as experience
Colour functions not as description but as atmosphere — shifting perception, creating tension and harmony. Recent work centres on red: intensity, vulnerability, grounding, transformation.
Each work emerges through listening rather than knowing — a way of understanding.
