My practice is painting with oil and wax on silk and vegan silk.
It is work that examines everyday images.
Using oils combined in part with wax on silk over canvas I paint the environment around me particularly seeking out references that relate to my own state of mind.
Recently I have used the self portrait and figures seen through glass effected by the environment in the images I make.
Seeing the world as an outsider I attempt to create the sensation of being enveloped by the environment – recently undertaking a year of mentoring via the Turps Correspondence Course I have developed a new series of paintings using glass with mist or frost as a metaphor.
