The Ghost In Our Children Painting

The Ghost In Our Children is a painting in four parts (each canvas measuring 20 x 30 in). In my paintings I like to find a new purpose for the marks and refuse (the traces of human activity) I discover wandering the city. They originate from a need to interact with the city visually. I am looking to create a space that doesn’t exist – one that is disorientating but familiar, attractive and ugly, expressive and electronic. Compositions begin as photographs of drips, scrapes, stains and discarded objects which I combine with portraits of strangers using photo-editing software. The process is one of instinctual accretion and deletion. Once a strong composition reveals itself the process ends. The image is then redrawn on canvas, and reinterpreted with brushstrokes, at the same time mimicking and overwriting the images' digital origins. The Ghost In Our Children dates from 2016 and was one of the first paintings in which I explored the transition from one visual vocabulary to another, (what is lost and what new meanings are born from an accumulation of expressive mark making).
