I am a painter, and my subject matter is drawn from what I see, or what I imagine I see, a synthesis of transient sensations that condense while making my pictures. In  my current work I am looking at various icons of western culture on the brink.

I am interested in working with and looking at how the non-systematic, non mediated can allow a way forward in the work, how formally ideas derive from this non methodology – and how close I can get to an unravelling of paint and image – without completely abandoning the implausible faith we had/have/will still have in objects and systems…. This is my subject…this and trying to embody a particular glowing light, that catapults everything unexpectedly into the realm of possibility.

The method (or non method) used to make these paintings is a kind of metaphor for the subject matter, both embody a certain incoherent belief, that is manifest in the act of painting.
