My work is multi-faceted. I make images through the integration of text, photography, painting/printing, drawing, using the computer, found imagery – anything which serves to communicate ideas. I tend to work in series, with several pieces happening simultaneously. The work changes, evolves, gets shelved, then reworked over several years. My methodologies tend to be heuristic, experimental, pushing up against the boundaries, challenging the accepted and ‘expected’ ways of making.

The process I use is equivalent to a ‘Remix’ – of technology and image. Images go through a process using digital printmaking, collage, layering and painting/mark-making.

The outcome of this process, using new and old technologies, can still be painterly – the artist’s role as pioneer magpie demands this. Art movements throughout history have returned to materials and their application (technology), often dictated through the necessity – ‘arte povera’, skip hopping or the increasing use of freeware for instance.
Themes evolve, often staying with me for years, and then vanish for a while. I am drawn to resonance, secrets, marks left behind, presence, shrouds, veils, things we hide, the history of surfaces changed through time; the absence of having been somewhere.
