I was looking at a documentary about new housing developments in California in the 1940's as if they were some sort of perfect solution Utopia . It was the start for the basis of this painting /idea . As i researched it images gather up like a compost and some remain , others get half buried and others mutate into completely different forms . A hummingbird , a geodesic dome , an ortolana bush , a sculpture , period clothing ...an illegible written message . It's a paradox in flux , a delicate balance teetering like the fragility of the hummingbird and the environment . Oil on Belgian linen , professional stretcher painted white on sides , signed , titled , dated on reverse.

am British artist based in Brussels since 1995. I completed my fine art degree in the United Kingdom in 1988 and have since worked and exhibited in Europe. My subject matter is an emotional response to observations of the everyday world : people, objects and landscape. I hope my artwork evokes similar emotions in the viewer that I feel: tenderness, longing, fascination for the world. A love of the complex and intimate beauty that painting creates. Paintings are based on observational drawings, my own photographic and film archive as well as anonymous films and snapshots found by chance. A multi-layered approach in the painting process means the image is further edited and changed: the original can be unrecognisable, deliberately buried & virtually invisible or a ghost-like remain, an echo. The finished painting is a suggestive composite with an open-ended, multifaceted reading. I have written more extensively about individual paintings on the saatchi website ; they give details about medium and process as well as some of my own thoughts and initial inspiration . Please feel free to comment as I like the stimulus of exchange and thank you for looking .
