Statement
My work is based on a fundamental fascination with inanimate objects and the sense of drama that these seemingly everyday forms can convey when depicted in a particular setting or in relationship with each other.
The meticulous description of these forms is not mere representation, but is a process of drawing potent information from the objects depicted through a sensitive and atmospheric use of the medium.
There is, however, no intended symbolism in the paintings, any possible meanings are entirely open to individual interpretation.
