I make paintings concerned with an ongoing investigation of form and colour. I create hard edge geometric forms using masking tape. These act as a vehicle for the chromatic choice, constraining the painting gestures between the boundaries. I choose colour combinations by instinct and experience over adherence to traditional colour principles, I’m interested in the interaction of line and colour over theory. I am drawn to colours which provoke a vibration or reaction when placed together. Colours are not static; they have relational value depending on how they are placed together, and I seek to exploit and manipulate this visual experience.
