My recent work reflects a concern with the visual codification
of post-colonial landscapes and inhabited futures. Paint is
utilised as a synthetic transmitter of experience that reflects
the historical uncertainty of place and proposes
contemporary genre painting as a transformative medium
with redemptive potential. These paintings aspire to a
condition of association and evocation rather than
representation. As such, they occupy a liminal space that
might be defined as ambiguous abstraction. This often
reveals itself as a searching out of small, elusive moments
and unconscious dilemmas that may implicate us in a larger
communal, collective or cosmological narrative.
