I have always painted. It's a way of re-seeing the world, taking more than five minutes to digest a scene and scrutinising it until it becomes more beautiful in its mundanity. Currently, my interest is in painting glasshouses. Seeing tropical, other-worldly plants in fake jungles with walls and ceilings, no skies above or deep earth beneath. Just concrete and glass and metal and mist. Glasshouses are microcosmic environments: structures containing exotic lands. Long boxes of heat and condensation and palms and huge, house-sized leaves. Things that shouldn't exist on English soil that DO exist on English soil. Recently, my work has centred around brutalist architecture and the contrast between the man-made and the natural. The process of painting pushes me to make things, and therefore I am constantly trying to find different ways of representing parts of an image. Translucency has been a focus recently, you might see this as you look through the paintings and notice hovering windows or frames. Ideas of glass and between-states.
