'Unbounded': new paintings and photographs 2010
(2010)Paintings and photographs that seek to communicate sensations and feelings as directly as possible, with a minimum of figuration. The photographs have not been 'photoshopped': they are records of real, not virtual, visual experience.
The depth of the surface: a photographic sequence
(2010)These photographs are about the mysterious life of dead matter, the intangibility of tangible objects, the colourfulness of the grey. They find new forms emerging from ordinary things, refinement in rough, hard, scarred surfaces. They play with scrap metal, meditate on the boundlessness of the finite. They have not been 'photoshopped'.

family snaps
(2003 - 2010)photo-paintings (not photo-realism). These paintings are about the passing of time, photography and memory, the ways reality eludes our grasp or reaches us only in the form of shadows. They are personal paintings about myself and my family but they are also about everyone, and about how as we live our lives are absorbed into history.
