ARTIST’S STATEMENT

I produce a different body of work each year: mountains, stripes, dots, monochromatic squares, pasta or cereal paintings and so on. I pursue that theme rather obsessively until I tire of it.

I work in a somewhat trance-like state which is interrupted by decisions about color and form. Like many artists, I work on multiple pieces simultaneously. I hang the work on the wall and spend days or weeks, sometimes months, trying to assess it with fresh eyes. There is a constant push-pull of confidence and insecurity, but even in times of frustration the process is a joy.
