Overview

"Painting is a bit like cooking; you can have complicated ingredients and a simple method, or simple ingredients and a complicated method. You can follow a recipe closely or see what’s in the cupboard and use your knowledge, cooking skills and intuition to make a meal. The ingredients for these paintings are found images of people that resonate with my memories and emotions, brought together with cityscapes that I have made on location in East London that carry an emotional bank of knowledge. My painting is a combination of internal and external motivations; the method is to create compositions in a collage technique that is guided more by an internally motivated chem-istry than an externally motivated existing narrative. However the story I want to visualise is about a group of people coming together in a place, maybe with a common purpose, or just brought together by chance; sequential art and murals have influenced the style and making of the work."
