About The Artwork
This is a study of a Dandelion that was growing outside of the studio. A weed that is the epitome of resilience. It is painted using two pigments. A black that has been made from charcoal, which itself was made from plants around the studio. A brown that was made from a soil sample that was taken from nearby the studio and purified to form a golden brown clay. these were then ground into pigments and and added to a Walnut alkyd to make oil paint. I was interested in how something so bright and so yellow could be depicted with just this limited palette. The result is a picture which ignores the obvious colours and instead highlights the structure.

United Kingdom
My recent personal practice is trying to get beyond painting as image construction to look at and highlight the whole process. Among other concerns this includes the reasons for making paintings, the significance of the subjects and the provenance of the materials used. Recently this approach has led back to observational painting, but my work has also included work in ceramics, film, abstract painting and working with communities. All this results in a multi-layered practice informed and actively developing my understanding of pertinent contemporary issues such as Ecological concerns, psychology, identity, Industrial Heritage, the role of Fine Art in Higher Education and New Materialist philosophy. Outside of this I use my skills to provide services to others. This includes arts workshops, decorating and murals.
