About The Artwork
This painting is based on several photos that I took of snow in our back garden. It was late in the afternoon, around 4-ish in January. I had just gone to the kitchen to put on the kettle for a cup of tea. My eye was attracted to the right, and as I turned to look out the square window over the sink, the sunlight had just hit the snow in such a way, that a myriad of gorgeous colours were reflecting off the snow. I believe we had freezing rain the night before, so there was a hard, crust that had formed over the tops of the snowdrifts. But this sunlight was in such a position over the snow, that shafts of pink, blue, violet and yellow were bouncing off the entire garden! In fact, I grabbed my little Casio digital camera, quickly jumped into my boots and ran outside, no coat, just ran. I took as many photos as I could which was a good thing, because in just a few short minutes, the light moved towards the trees in the back, and those brilliant shafts of colour faded, and then were gone. The snow went back to a blue-ish hue. I went back inside, re-boiled the kettle and looked out the window feeling thankful that I was able to capture this beauty. The next day, I began this painting that you see here. I hope you can get that feeling that I had, just sheer pleasure to enjoy nature in the moment.

My painting practice has been split into two distinctly different processes: Firstly, traditional painting on canvas displayed on the wall; and secondly, the creation of hybrid painting which focuses on process and the materiality of acrylic/latex paint. The latter uses steel mesh rather than canvas and is formed into large scale 3-d floor paintings. The former process, traditional painting on canvas, is my current practice. My current research involves collecting personal interviews from friends and family about their memories of childhood, coupled with tangible materials such as photographs, postcards, letters, diaries, maps, vintage objects etc. My research is then collated to construct a contextual framework, a narrative that will become a series of painted works. The work is testimony to preservation and/or deterioration of memory through time, the impact of trauma, and the surrounding environment. My research has revealed a drastic polarity between my own memories of a past event, and that of others who experienced the same event. This series of figurative paintings, which is still work in progress, infers a state of suspension; a presence that is captured within a memory, or the perception of what that memory was. My first series of paintings called Quell 1 and Quell 2, demonstrates the beginning of my exploration into the theme of memory, and the compositional challenges that are presented to me as a contemporary painter.
