This is a selection of current experimental work from a week in the studio both of drawings and paintings. I tend to work in series of painting which is always underpinned by my drawing practise invaluable in solving problems for experiments and inspiration, particularly in the initial stages of the work. These are exploring a time of contemplation which is a thread of continuous interest in my work, in its execution I purposely avoid any prejudging in any sense of what is to come. The mark remains a conduit and manifestation, repetatively and rhythmically expressed, through colour and tone in a range of materials.
