ABOUT THE PAINTINGS

The paintings are based on shapes and textures found in nature and their symbolic meanings.

The work combines visual richness through the use of colour and textural depth.

Through the process of layering and texture residues of past disturbances are visible throughout the layering leaving an imprint of the event. My work is designed to intrigue and challenge your perception of the natural world.

The paintings relate to aspects of space, time, tension and surface tension.  Time and gravity play a key role, the intrusion of these elements relates to cause and effect. I am emphasising the visual tension between the two dimensional plane and the three dimensional space.
