My work is concerned with the elemental processes of landscape. I combine an intuitive and tactile exploration of the painting medium with a response to natural phenomena, the forces of geological activity and the development of organic form. Through various mark-making processes the paint is imbued with the spark and charge of life and gradually each painting becomes like a fossil-bearing surface, revealing tracks and traces - a record of remembered senses. The work eventually sets into its new-found form, freeze-framed in time and motion. This is a point of unstable equilibrium where the contrasting states of resolution and quest co-exist.
The paintings function as a microcosm - a finely balanced and sustainable system where each of the complex variety of marks makes a vital and unique contribution to the success of the whole. A state of fragile stability is achieved between clarity and diffusion, between the relative densities of substance and space, between structure and chaos. The work is in a sense a homage to the force of nature.
