About
Introduction
For ten years (1990-2000) I made objects and installation. This has informed my paintings which I see as an extension of an engagement with architectural interiors at night. The spaces I paint have some kind of functional use. I try and invest them with a sense of human absence, leaving the viewer to complete the questions about who, when and how the spaces are used.
In recent works I have included figures, at present I am working on a purely figurative series for an exhibition at England & co. in the new year. A sample will be published soon.
