The paintings in this ongoing series are inspired by textures such as rock surfaces or what is happening at my feet. The paintings I create of these surfaces come from an intense, laboured process of analysis, research and planning. This process is not only extremely therapeutic but also epitomises my approach to day-to-day activities.

These paintings allow me to experiment with blurring the boundaries between reality and artifice, possibly prompting a deeper scrutiny which is reflective of how I analyse and process information. I am fascinated by the theory of Jean Baudrillard’s treatise of simulacra and simulation which examines the relationship between reality and imitation.

I use a variety of mixed media including wax, clay, charcoal and acrylic paint to create paintings which are similar to, but not an exact copy of the original surface; inviting a closer inspection of the painting and prompting the viewer to ask questions about how it has been made.
