Light Journal 1 2-2 Painting

The central idea behind my work is the abstract exploration the urban landscape: taking inspiration from local neighbourhoods and the contrasts of structures within. Soft edges, hard lines, organic shapes and deliberate forms all inform this idea of organic amongst the structured. These are places that are subject to change. This idea is always at the core of my work. Working in abstraction allows me to explore the idea of the intersection of organic and concrete through the application of each layer of paint and colour on the canvas, board or panel. This exploration of the material, usually acrylics and assorted glazes and mediums but sometimes mixed media and collage, lets the work evolve in its own story.
