The paintings don’t have end points. They continually evolve through gestures formed through spontaneous impulses, in a struggle to find what only paint can display. The surfaces sit in an area of tension between construction and destruction, where each brush mark is a response to the last. Areas are over painted, erased, before being built up again. Each new layer leaving remnants of what was there before. The paintings hold a transient state, slipping from one conclusion to the next with no solidarity, reflecting the fluid nature of the paint itself.
​
Visual references from experiences and surroundings are starting points but never solid in their formation. Forms are obscured and mutated by the constantly evolving surface. Through this process the paintings develop into ambiguous spaces that act as metaphors to their origins. Spaces where the viewer is encouraged to question and decipher the surface in front of them.
