I tell stories. Often they are a way of communicating what is
permeating my imagination. It is a type of escapism but also a way
of seeing what is important to me.
Like most intuition-absorbed practitioners, I see knowing and
description as complicated and subjective. That said, the works
that move me most are representational: Constable, Watteau,
Chardin are in some way my thin line.
Abstraction feels like a troubled cousin. It’s a tenuous relationship.
Abstraction is the beginning, in the caves. And much more attuned
to intuition. So, it is the punk home.
