SHADOW PLAY 2016

In this series I have made a deliberate attempt to take more control of the outcome. Emphasis has been placed on light, shadow, line and graduation of colour to convey a spiritual or emotional element.

Heart & Soul, 2016, Acrylic on canvas, 91 x 91 cm

surface TENSION 2015/16

In these works I have introduced red, vertical lines to disrupt the picture plane. The colour and strong geometric element form a counterpoint to the monochrome soft, organic folds of the background creating an interesting tension.

Storm, 2016, Acrylic paint on Canvas, 91 x 152cm (SOLD)

New Perspectives 2015

Sectioning off part of the canvas allows form to be revealed in the boundaries between the creased and flat areas. I have found this offers a more representational reading of my paintings.

In this series I have played with the picture plane, tilting, skewing and bending it, to alter the perspective completely.

Creases 2014/15

Creases are a metaphor for being in the world, registering the traces of our existence.

These large scale abstract paintings are designed to elicit a physical response from the viewer in an effort to bring awareness to the subjective nature of vision and the body's role in interpreting what it sees.
