Time Squared Series VII Painting

I am interested in exploring abstract qualities in painting, particularly concerned with surface, mark and colour and their power to evoke feeling and memory. The paintings become a record in themselves, mapping, layering, sometimes resulting in palimpsests with their own condensed histories. Work often begins from noticing mundane or overlooked elements in the everyday, connected to my interaction with my surroundings. My work contrives to deliver a structural narrative that affords visual respite from our high speed digital age, each mark holds the trace of my presence. They are a combination of conscious and unconscious thoughts, planned and unplanned actions. They are intangible propositions given surface by paint.
