My paintings reflect a quiet meditation on the passage of time. The notion of what is real and what is imagined as we return again and again to half remembered histories informs my practice as a painter and as a carver. The found materials and objects that I surround myself with as I work have a certainty – they can be relied on. Each piece of slate, lead and rusted metal has a physical connection to a real person, time and place now lost. They are tactile aide memoirs. Each new painting is created taking the dimensions and scale from these objects as a starting point for the shapes used and the marks made as the layers build and are over-painted hinting at what might lie beneath.
