I live and work in Hastings, East Sussex where I have a studio in the heart of the old town.
My practice is multi disciplinary, working with paint, collage, found objects and photography. Recent work is born out of an interest in the concept of entropy, the arrow of time constantly moving forward, the process of deterioration, and the inevitable cosmic thrust toward disorder.
This interest is conveyed by a building up of layers in a quest for "perfection", but gradually the accumulation reaches a turning point, when a process of subtraction begins. By rubbing down and removing parts of the image to reveal underlying layers, an element of randomness is introduced, allowing the work to evolve in a more intuitive way.
