ABSTRACT

My abstract work is pure experimentation with ideas, materials and texture. Although I begin with a seed of an idea I intuitively add colour, shape and form until the idea develops. I use many layers in my work, painting over certain parts and then sanding others, not only does it add interesting textures but also enlightening depths and glimpses of vague shapes and shades beneath the overlaying mixes of colour.

ILLUSTRATION

Combining painting and print my illustrations often have a dark edge, depicting strange figures and scenes. Many are based on overheard conversations, people I meet or autobiographical.

SCULPTURE

Scouring the streets of Birmingham I collect what most people would call junk and use these items to build shadow boxes, each one telling their own unique story. I am currently experimenting with automaton in the hope of making these figures move.
