These paintings depict vast, expansive spaces on a small, intimate scale. They use the chemical qualities of oil washes to disrupt, dissolve or decay the image surface. Light, space, time, weather, pollution and environmental decay play against natural elements.
Seemingly romantic on the surface, they speak quietly of environmental erosion, shrinking space and an internal experience of landscape. The images exist in a state of flux; location and time are not fixed. The spaces and structures are shifting, living and dying, displaying a fragile and temporary nature. Aiming to be open ended, evasive and spare, they play with a desire for the mysterious and the elemental.
