About The Artwork
This is part of a series of nocturnes painted along the river in winter at night. Sometimes there is very little to see and its always exciting to get them back into the light to see what was captured. I suppose that in that way it shares that delay with wet photography... The paint used is a homemade paint made from homemade Apple tree charcoal. This is ground and mixed with linseed oil. The reduced subject matter and simple paint allow me to concentrate on mark making and the qualities of the paint, whilst hopefully capturing something of the character of the river at night. They also pay homage to Peder Balke a Norwegian artist who produced a series of single pigment paintings towards the end of his life.

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.
