I like the train ride.
But I used to like it better Before you could afford the ICE,
There is something about air conditioning that I find rather unnerving, kind of sickly.
I cant breath properly, I always end up with an uncomfortably dry throat.

- About my artwork
- They are the result of short bursts of activity and long periods
of contemplation. From their individual starting points the paintings had no significant
concept or direction and any narratives seen in their completed states are results of the
process of their creation. My paintings are slowly been built up, each new aspect adding to the
narrative and directing the future work. Furthermore I utilize photographic source material,
which material generally comes from personal photographs, the internet, books and other
random sources. This imagery is often digitally processed and the ensuing digital collages
become the working sketches for the next phase in the paintings. It is also important to
note that it is not the skill involved in applying paint that interests me but the narrative that
is created by pushing one image up against another. Aesthetically the individual aspects of
my paintings often appear rough, perhaps even unfinished. That is because often they are.
I feel this helps to give a roundness to the works. They are indeed very busy but because
the details are somewhat unfinished they tend to be recognizable without distracting from
the image as a whole.
The time period involved is perhaps the most important aspect in understanding how my paintings are created; each phase in a painting is not only influenced by what was previously
there, but also by my mood and thoughts during the periods in which the activity takes
place. As these periods are few and far between, each time I rework the canvas I generally
approach it from a new perspective.
In conclusion I would like to say that my paintings are open to interpretation. It is my wish that people viewing the paintings take with them all that they can.
There are no boundaries and it has always been a joy of mine to be told the narratives of
my work rather than to explain them.
