Patagonia Series

Using the the organic shapes of nature, the Strata Series explores through texture and colour the multi layered physical environment. Forests, rock formations, water, air - these are all abstracted yet visually familiar at the same time.

This series is constructed with colourfast paper and foil mounted on board in an acid free mount in a wenge wood frame with UV acrylic glazing. The work is supplied with D rings and string ready for hanging.

Idiomatic Series

I recently watched the newest version of the film ‘Dune’ directed by Denis Villeneuve. This enticed me to re read the series of novels by Frank Herbert that I last did when I was much younger in high school in the late 70’s. So very enjoyable! Using the books as inspiration for my ‘Dune Series’, using places, characters and events from the story, I have tried to capture the essence of them with a mid century vibe.

The works are made with paper mounted on board in acid free mounts in wooden frames with UV acrylic glazing. Ready to hang with D rings and string.

Dune Series, 2022

My newest “Spectrum Series” uses custom coloured silkscreened paper with an iridescent finish to embody natural landscape elements in a different and unique manner. Taking cues from modern glass buildings, sea and sky, the series explores reflections both natural and manmade.

Spectrum Series, 2022

Continuing my exploration of colour theory and how colours are involved in our daily lives this work explores colours and places. Using colours to evoke memories of places, cities and countrysides.

Places Series

Based on Thai, other Eastern cultures and astrology each day of the week has a colour of the day. The colour is based on the colour of the God who protects the day or Navagraha. For example, the God of Sunday is Surya which has as the red color. These colours of the day are the traditional Thai birthday colours. For example, King Bhumibol Adulyadej was born on Monday, so on his birthday places in Thailand will be decorated with the colour yellow.

This series consists of seven works. Please contact the Saatchi Art curating team if you are interested in the whole series.

Day Colour Series

A new series made in 2021 that has been inspired by the Milan based fashion house of Missoni. 

I have long been an admirer of the intricate designs and fabrics that they produce. Going through their archives of almost 60 years of iconic designs, I have selected some of the highlights from the collections and reinterpreted them. 

I hope you enjoy them.

New Work - 2021. Continuing with my wall series, 'Wall Series 5' celebrates Pride Month around the world. Named after the Stonewall Inn in NYC in July 1969, these works are meant to be a reminder of the uprising and the Gay Pride marches that take place every year to mark the anniversary of the event.

I have used the new pride flag colours adopted in 2021 being the original rainbow colours plus black, brown, pink and turquoise. These colours have been used on a rotational basis on a series of eight walls. The wall is used here as a metaphor for the struggles many have had to conquer to get where they are now and going forward into the future. I hope you enjoy them.

Wall Series 5 / Stonewall

Miami, 2021

Available exclusively through Saatchi Art, this work is from my New 'Earth Elements Series' created during the Covid pandemic. 

Building on concepts from the "Wall Series' where barriers set up amongst the changing rules for social interaction and communication, a more holistic interpretation based on ancient colours used to define the worlds base elements has been incorporated into the theme. Confusion, being trapped and cornered and the disturbing angst I have been feeling has been recorded.

Using colourfast and acid free paper, vinyl and other materials mounted on dibond panels, these works are framed with an acid free front mount and back panel in an oak wooden frame with hooks for hanging.

Earth Elements Series

Continuing my collage work with paper and foil, The 'Three Ring' Series consists of 9 smaller works with three white rings running through the abstract landscape.

These works are a challenge to make, as once set down and adhered to the panels, there’s no possibility of amending them. My technique uses linear elements, repetition, colour, texture and optical illusion to create images of real and imagined places.

Using colourfast and acid free paper, vinyl and other materials mounted on dibond panels, these works are framed with an acid free front mount and back panel in a black wooden frame with hooks for hanging. All works are sent wrapped in bubble wrap and in a sturdy cardboard box to its new home.

Three Rings

Available exclusively through Saatchi Art, this work is from my recent “Wall Series” created during the Covid pandemic. This series is a reflection on the barriers set up amongst the changing rules for social interaction and communication. Walls that confront you and surround you with the possibility of feeling trapped and cornered reflecting the emotional and physical effects for society through my interpretation. The physical and emotional barriers that have occurred during this time often confuse and disorient perspective with our surroundings. Using walls as a metaphor, these artworks invoke the emotions that we are subjected to.
