My work is concerned with exploring the fundamental elements of image making – both the physical nature, properties and potential of materials, and the emotional communicative qualities of the line in a non-representational role. The work explores techniques of layering, revealing and obscuring imagery, colour relationships, and the potential for an abstract language to provoke an emotional response through the use of repetition and a minimalist aesthetic.

My recent work is mostly concerned with the possibilities offered by the process of building up a powerful but subtly complex image through the (manual, and therefore inaccurate, imperfect) repetition of a simple image or motif.
