ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Part of a series of work based on the bridges produced from walks I did along the River Thames in London. It was painted in a mixture of oil and acrylic paint on canvas, it embraces chance processes with how the paint `mixes' together, with the basis of the painting done very instinctively. Details to accentuate and bring parts of the painting together were added later. The intention for this project is to walk the whole of the Thames Path as it flows into and out of London as I walk to the west. The idea is a metaphor for the `Western' world being effected like the weathers forces on the river, so the cities and rural areas are affected by all kinds of forces of capitalism. The often dangerous waters of the river translates into how life can be very chaotic but also controlled by other aspects of society.

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.
