Paintings - 2024-2025

These paintings come from a place of not knowing - figuring something out, I don't even always know what I'm trying to work out - it's just something intuitive but I know it when they're finished.  I follow the work and the materials rather than a fixed plan - often to music.   Most of these paintings have began as figurative or representational paintings that I’m ready to abandon and through a process of unravelling and reworking, shift into something else entirely.  At times, abstraction becomes a form of escape, a self-soothing response to the intensity of making narrative or conceptual work.
