'Grey Barn' 2008 Oil on Board (25x30cm)
I work partly from cardboard models but also from imagination – the two modes being necessary to explore the painterly conflict between surface and depth, abstraction and representation, field and form. The resulting images veer between literal depictions of the actual models and imagined forms and spaces that explore a less tangible vision.

My recent paintings depict painted models or objects. These makeshift constructions bear the marks of conflicting urges; they are half-built and half-trashed, part painted and part spattered and scratched.
Lodged within a shallow pictorial space, the forms are either pinned to a back wall or flattened to a base, barely projecting out from the plane.
