Artist Statement:
My current work is influenced
by shapes, surfaces, textures
and spatial relationships in
the urban/suburban
environment. Also important is
a series of perceived
opposites - abstraction and
representation, the surface
and what lies beneath,
presence and absence, the
actual and the implied.
Another influence on my work
is an interest in the
aesthetics of
ordinary/everyday objects or
settings. Finally, I am
interested too in what Paul
Cezanne referred to as the
'uncertainties of visual
perception'.
About 10 years ago I began
collecting found and recycled
objects. Initially, these
objects were used as reference
material for paintings, but I
soon began assembling them as
artworks in their own rights.
These sculptural assemblages
have so far been presented in
the same manner as paintings -
they are designed to be hung
on a wall. Shapes, textures
and spatial relationships
within the assemblages have
influenced my paintings, just
as those in the paintings have
influenced the more sculptural
artworks. This practice
reflects my long-held interest
in the crossover between
painting and sculpture. ...
