What was That Painting

Using the formal elements to explore depth and spatial ambiguities, I am also interested in the language of abstract art and intrigued by how a simple change in the balance of colour or position of line influences what is expressed and how a message is read. But, in the same way verbal communication involves more than the arrangement of words within syntax, I want my paintings to go beyond the surface recognition of colour, line and form and am keen to retain a degree of informality in my work; the random factor and the materiality of the process. Consequently, I am not only using the structure of my work to investigate my interests of space and language but I am also using it to display a sense of the fuller dialogue that is involved when ideas are exchanged between people.
