Personal statement

The works are depictions of the less obvious aspects of finding oneself within the landscape.

An eclectic mix of drawings, found imagery, photographs (such as stills from WWII newsreel footage) undergo computer manipulation and editing and are taken into print media or onto canvas and overpainted and layered. Microscopic organic elements are enlarged, reduced in size or isolated to create simplified components of landscape. Figures, when they appear, are dislocated but at the same time seem parts of the general 'substance' of the environment.

They do not depict panoramas, but are introverted views of a larger whole where halftone dots become 'atoms', swarms of midges, parachutes, snow and rain smirr or perhaps those detached cells that sometimes float on the surface of your eye.
