My paintings are characterised by the use of reductive mark-making techniques such as wiping, removing and drawing into, wet paint. These techniques have increasingly become the subject of my work which is, consequently, as much about what is removed from the surface of the paintings, as it is about what is added to them.
My more recent abstract paintings apply my painting methods to the creation of simple layered motifs. These aim to challenge the viewer's reading of the painted surface and, in doing so, they reference the playfully weaving painted lines of work by artists such as Bernard Frize and Brice Marden. They also continue an investigation of colour relationships and dynamics.
