“The works on paper explore and feed into my paintings - they at once begin and interweave with the paintings and form a relationship to grow and dialogue to develop between them. The beauty of painting as image; then played out with dreams and thoughts that oscillate through materials and application to bring together a ”˜state / space' that allows the viewer to be at one; to be taken away to a lucid world; where it's both real and un-real. Sub-conscious thoughts; moments; lyrics and text permeate the works so that the viewer is seduced and can ”˜feel' the work the same way that music can transport us to a different place; time and moment and recall an innate connection; oneness with something or someone- a different world- a different history-a different time- wherein fantasy; desire; memory; emotion and the spiritual interweave and leave a legacy in the mind and heart”.
