The work I make forms part of an ongoing series of staged spaces, evolving from collected ephemera. Shapes are defined and echoed across the surface, piled up, assembled, curated; colour picked out and heightened, or flattened. Brush marks are sometimes jaunty and fluid, revealing the trace of the mark as a quick expression, and sometimes paint is absent.
