'Shifting Sands' has been painted on stretched canvas and mounted into a hand-painted frame. These paintings are rooted in the tradition of British and European post-war Modernism, particularly abstract painting. Drawing inspiration from the experience of place – the rugged landscape of the Cornish coast or walking through the city of London with it’s random geometry, these are departure points for an intuitive painting process that includes layering with palette knives, scratching back, adding texture with wax or marble dust, sanding down and exploring the role of accident & chance until the initial subject matter is transformed into a new reality – one of pure abstraction.  Music is also a significant factor and many paintings are titled after jazz tunes or  reference the continuous refininement, elaboration and reworking of jazz improvisation around a central structure.
