This painting was inspired by a life drawing class I did many years ago. The model was actually holding a wheel above their head but I really liked the pose without that and the idea developed from there. The title can be taken as either the act of praying or the person doing it. It was made using string to outline the body which then had primary colours poured into, the colours meant to symbolise that us humans are made of the same simple elements. It can be interpreted as the person either offering their prayers up to god or someone else. The earthly colours around the rest of the canvas are meant to symbolise the skin tones of the multi-cultural modern society that we live in. Once this phase of the painting was dry I worked on drawing the painting together with more controlled painting. The use of string and poured paint has been used many times since then in my paintings as I create work that explores both chance and reason. The string hangs down a further 10cm at the base of the picture suggesting the figures legs. The canvas has hanging wire attached.

I am a South Londoner since birth. My "Home-Works" which I have been working on for the last 7 years project developed at the same time as the debates over Brexit were being formed. However, since completing my degree course my work has moved away from this more introverted, self-improvement way of working to one where I have also been addressing the need to make connections to others and to work. This was the basis of the project producing paintings in response to each bridge along the River Thames (currently up to the edge of London). This project also developed the ideas around the question of where is home and led to ideas of what makes up someone's personality in some of my paintings of figures. I have worked across a variety of media, but am now concentrating on paintings with chance processes often incorporated. For example in my Thames project contrasting the flows of the river in London with the structures of the bridges expressing the juxtaposition between nature and the man-made and the chaos/order of city life. I am at the early stages of another project walking the coastal paths along the west coast of England producing paintings of beaches and cliffs again representing the unpredictability and structure of the nature of coastal erosion, tides, etc. The use of chance to form the basis of the paintings, using a mixture of oil and acrylic paint usually, is often offset against more detailed and purposeful aspects as the painting takes on a life of its own, almost.
