About The Artwork
Creekskyde is a play on words - the association of the Al Fahidi District to the Creekside district of Dubai, sky – my works combine aerial images (Dubai is probably the only city in the world observed by more people from the air than from the ground), and skype – a reference to the modern connected world in which the citizens of Dubai connect to their family and friends that are so far dispersed. As with all my works they are intended to work as abstract exercises that operate at the boundary of cognition, providing visual hints of maps and photographs but which operate as elements within the abstract scheme of the works. The works explore the idea of “installation drawings” that combine my different perspectives of place, from the air and from the street, with my desire to combine drawing and painting. The works are executed on sepia film that is a robust plastic medium that enables the work to be installed out of doors but is also translucent and can be viewed from two sides.

South Africa
At the moment I am interested in formal elements of painting and drawing inspired by the world around me and the many countries I visit, and in finding meaning where others do not - in the fall of light on a sandy building in Riyadh, the chaos of the shacks of Kampala, the crowded taxi parks of Johannesburg. My art is a search for perfection that is not often found in life. I am fortunate enough to travel widely in the Middle East and Africa, but I have not found my Tahiti - a landscape populated with many Venuses and primary colours, instead I find landscape covered in sandy construction sites, tin roofed shacks, humanity sweating as trucks our loaded with voluminous bundles. But within these spaces there is balance and form and structure - all elements that are abstracted in my paintings.
