`Body Language Iā was a painting I produced looking back at the project I completed for my sculpture degree. Towards the end of the course, I moved into a new flat and was hit by what I believed were insanely white walls that made living there seem like living in an art gallery. So I set about making my flat into a sculpture and this painting was a reflection of that overall idea ā looking at the spaces and trying to respond to them through paintings and other art forms. The X on the watch was purposely set to 10 past 10 to symbolise my presence and the need to express myself. There are other readings to impart on this painting but my defensive position with my arms folded and legs relaxed yet forcing their way out into the space was the meaning that I conceived in that moment. Made using a found frame and balsa wood squares for the background, black paint was literally squeezed out onto the painting straight from the tube to add to the texture and the act of expression.

I am a South Londoner since birth. My "Home-Works" which I have been working on for the last 7 years project developed at the same time as the debates over Brexit were being formed. However, since completing my degree course my work has moved away from this more introverted, self-improvement way of working to one where I have also been addressing the need to make connections to others and to work. This was the basis of the project producing paintings in response to each bridge along the River Thames (currently up to the edge of London). This project also developed the ideas around the question of where is home and led to ideas of what makes up someone's personality in some of my paintings of figures. I have worked across a variety of media, but am now concentrating on paintings with chance processes often incorporated. For example in my Thames project contrasting the flows of the river in London with the structures of the bridges expressing the juxtaposition between nature and the man-made and the chaos/order of city life. I am at the early stages of another project walking the coastal paths along the west coast of England producing paintings of beaches and cliffs again representing the unpredictability and structure of the nature of coastal erosion, tides, etc. The use of chance to form the basis of the paintings, using a mixture of oil and acrylic paint usually, is often offset against more detailed and purposeful aspects as the painting takes on a life of its own, almost.
