Lobophyton - Limited Edition 1 of 50 Photograph

My practice has developed over the years to establish deeply personal ways of making marks on canvas. The aim is to create proto-narratives, each open to their own interpretation, but all informed by a theme or set of boundaries. The common technical thread is a multi-stage process of experiment and refinement, application and removal that build back, middle and foreground. This is achieved through the chemistry of high-pressure ink washes, polyurethane varnishes injected with gloss and spray paint, screen-printing, collage, stencils and more. In order to add depth of texture and meaning, masked areas are treated separately, enabling the integration of natural, mechanical and architectural features.
