About The Artwork
This is a print from a glass 'muller' used to crush and combine pigments and oils in paint making. The pigment is a reddy brown clay which is found in Cwmbran near where I live. This clay was used to make bricks in the Industrial Revolution. In fact my house was also made from these bricks. It is made into paint by combining with a Walnut Alkyd oil. The painting acts both as a record of the paint making process, as well as an example of the dendritic forking patterns found in nature. By chance I also find that the resulting print resembles glacial mountains... could those be the glacial mountains that ground the rocks into the fine sediment that formed this clay many thousands million of years ago?

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.
