‘My landscapes are not representational of specific places but are instead informed by the emotions and sensations I have gathered and stored from the many regions I have explored. Depicting desolate, isolated scenes, my approach is both intuitive and instinctive, constantly moving between control and chance and utilising painting techniques that emulate the transformative effects of light, weather, time and human intervention on a landscape. By manipulating thin layers of paint, I gradually obscure and expose underlying marks and textures, allowing horizons to blur and shapes to merge or dissolve into one another, creating a metaphor for how memories fade and distort. The results are scenes that almost but do not quite make sense; hinting at a familiar world that is becoming more strange.’
