The study of non-functioning detail, found in man-made objects and the built environment, is the primary focus of my work. These tiny elements that serve no apparent practical purpose, and which may even compromise functionality, can nonetheless elevate an object from the mundane to something considered to be of value or even beauty.
I produce very precise and exacting paintings which are usually sparse in their content. The flat painted surfaces are built up of many thin layers leaving no discernible signs of brush-marks. I use no mathematical systems or underlying grids to create the images. However, they are not completely random, rather each is an illustration of a simple concept: perhaps an overlap, misalignment or the restriction of the image to the edges. The empty space serves to hold the elements in place, separate them or allow them to interact.
The finished work, though laboriously hand-made, has a deceptively manufactured appearance. These are works made to be viewed at close quarters. The simplicity of the image focuses our attention towards the minuscule and demands close scrutiny. Instead, we are drawn in to an intimate space where the barrier between viewer and artist diminishes.
