Artist Statement:
When it comes to painting I
consider myself a nomad. The
journey, the struggle, is of
more importance than the
destination. Therefore
painting a series of work in a
particular way is not an
option and planning a work
from start to finish means it
is likely to fall flat on its
face. My primary interest is
in creating a layered or
textured surface from which
the work can evolve. From this
point the work leads me. The
markmaking, the apparent
instability of surface, and
the drawn line are linked to a
continually questioning
approach and an underlying
consciousness of the fragility
of existence.
Although it is important that
I relate to a subject matter
and that this relationship
often has its roots in some
form of patriarchy, my subject
matter is manifestly a means
to discovering the expressive
potential of paint .
An awareness of the then and
now is inevitably present when
I am working and I feel that
this is related as much to
personal memory as to a
concern with a tradition of
what representation means.
