This painting was done in two stages. Initially, exploring abstract expressionism and chance in art, two mixtures of green acrylic and red oil paint were poured onto a canvas and left to flow under the influence of gravity. Two years or so later I returned to the painting and seeing it with fresh eyes as a green bridge and its links to my Bridge Project I was just embarking on I began work on the surrounding areas of the canvas. This began with quick brushstrokes which I then 'reasoned' with to make what became shapes that linked together on the left hand side to make a journey to the bridge. The other side of the flowing bridge was what became an unfinished fire. Fire had been another project that I had explored during my Sculpture degree course, so this painting brought together a number of elements of my past and future projects. It can also be interpreted as an environmental piece where the green natural world is slowly being lost to man's fire and global warming.

I am a South Londoner since birth. My "Home-Works" which I have been working on for the last 7 years project developed at the same time as the debates over Brexit were being formed. However, since completing my degree course my work has moved away from this more introverted, self-improvement way of working to one where I have also been addressing the need to make connections to others and to work. This was the basis of the project producing paintings in response to each bridge along the River Thames (currently up to the edge of London). This project also developed the ideas around the question of where is home and led to ideas of what makes up someone's personality in some of my paintings of figures. I have worked across a variety of media, but am now concentrating on paintings with chance processes often incorporated. For example in my Thames project contrasting the flows of the river in London with the structures of the bridges expressing the juxtaposition between nature and the man-made and the chaos/order of city life. I am at the early stages of another project walking the coastal paths along the west coast of England producing paintings of beaches and cliffs again representing the unpredictability and structure of the nature of coastal erosion, tides, etc. The use of chance to form the basis of the paintings, using a mixture of oil and acrylic paint usually, is often offset against more detailed and purposeful aspects as the painting takes on a life of its own, almost.
