My work has roots in psychoanalysis particularly Freudian theory, it is about the unconscious and sometimes blind folded mark making and its implications. It also speaks about visual memory through the process of layering, the constant application of paint over paint speaks of the construction of memory how some things are lost and replaced by others and in the destruction of the old there is a sense of re-birthing and creation of the new.

In a sense my paintings are becoming a mental space for my thoughts and emotions both conscious and unconscious. These two sides of my being are constantly in conflict with one another. The canvas allows for me to resolve my own mental issues and in a sense each painting is a little part of me.

My marks are heavily influenced by forms of writing such as automatic writing, calligraphy, graffiti and the archi-trace. Readings, particularly by the likes of Descatres and Derrida. My work speaks of pre-ontological and primitive ways of making mark, of the moment of spontaneity and wants to express gestural moments unhindered. I am interested by the notion of taking something not corporeal and making it physical such as dreams, thoughts, emotions and memory.
