Artist Statement

 

My work is both conceptual and intuitive. Underlying this is an interest in places and their vibe, the past visible in the present. I often make art about modernist legacies, futures which haven’t quite worked out according to the dream. My work responds to sites, seasons and weather conditions. 

 

I often consider my experience of growing up in a period of optimistic modernism and the legacy of that in a present faced with urgent environmental and urban challenges. 

I paint in oils on linen, canvas and wood panels, also large format watercolour, drawing and print. I have dabbled with video and sound and would like to do more. 

My studio is in East London near the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
