With reference to my painting practice I have always been fascinated by
the notion of editing or curating my actions in a focused manner. I try to contain every thing that is meaningful
in the moment. It is a challenge that I
find appealing. However ironic, the
mannered anarchic splash of paint feels authentic in its materiality coupled
with the process-bound stencil, or the slow steady manipulation of paint on
canvas as geometry.
Various notions of the ‘sublime’ and ‘transience’ underpin the aesthetics
of what I paint. As a conceptual
material, paint has immense history embedded within it. I have a desire to
explain visually those notions as vignettes into the window of my imagination,
it represents time and place and the way the paintings were made.
The resultant work serves as documentation, a lens of politics, history
and culture.
