Recent works push colour into luminous states of spatialisation
and ambiguity. They exploit the visual problem of focusing simultaneously
on converging layers of tonally dazzling colour which elongate and
compress the image. This emphasises the tactile qualities of the
paint, and introduces psychological and retinal stimuli for the
spectator. Each painting is layered with oil, acrylic, enamel, and
powder pigment. Paint is applied with a different brush, roller,
or poured to allow chance. The poured enamel often touches more
gestural or flat areas of the work making the edge, and edges fragile
and fluid. The physical and plastic qualities of the painting highlight
the inbetween and object quality of the work;
the colour and detail drawing you into the surface facture.
