One O’Clock Spot Painting

There have been different strands to my work in recent years. From multi layered oil paintings which are revisited over time, to quick sketches made in the street or on my phone while travelling. The paintings are fast and slow at the same time. They consist of many different layers – some made very quickly with intuition, but built up over a longer considered process. I am interested in the different ways an image can be seen, that moment of recognition from eye to brain, the sensuality of sight. Colour and familiar objects, where it all breaks down. The rules we make for ourselves. The losing control, the surrender.
