About The Artwork
This painting is created using straight edge geometry. This means that the relationships are only found using a compass and a straight edge. There are no rulers. As such it is a little like origami as the relationships within the rectangle are discovered through ever increasing divisions. The surface of the painting is layered to create an aesthetic that recalls the memory of school blackboards with their half erased history of the last lesson still showing though. Straight edge geometry was extremely important to Renaissance artists like Botticelli who divided his scenes and arranged them by a strict grid of chords derived from the internal geometry of his panels. This painting lays all that bare. In doing so it raises questions about truth in two ways. What is the naked reality of painting after all the artifice is removed and what relation does contemporary truth in the current media have to mathematical truths? Questions to ponder whilst you gaze at the painting...

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.
