One of the main problems of hanging paintings relates to issues of the series, groupings, clusters, juxtapositions and singularities. At times I feel that I am in a state of oscillation between all these possibilities. This is a question both of meaning and the gaps between meaning.
I think that these paintings strobe between a form of diaristic intimacy and a mirror that reflects a self-image, that is a form that spreads, and a form that centres. So I need both forms simultaneously but then I am left with an almost contradictory, impulse of attempting to work across several registers of meaning and to lose meaning into a space that might be described as elsewhere.
Rhythmically travelling between description and abstraction, singularity and multiplicity, the paintings hint at revelation, or memory. They are a staged event, a chaotic invention, a shadow world, an afterlife, a hope, but anyway a means of arriving at the edge of possibility.
