One of the first in the London Bridges Series as I walked the length of the River Thames in my home city. Painted with a mixture of oil and acrylic paint, and concrete on canvas. It embraces chance processes with how the paint flows around the canvas finding little rivers of paint as it ‘mixes' together. The basis of the painting therefore was done very instinctively. The bottom half was more dictated to by chance expressing the unpredictable nature of the river under the surface and the dangers of swimming in the Thames in London. The bridge was also formed with concrete before the concrete was removed from this section, and watercolour pencils were used for the sequence of bridges in the distance. Details, to accentuate some of the flows of paint and to bring the parts together, were added later. The use of concrete contrasting against the flows of paint juxtaposes ideas of permanence and the man made, with the temporary or fleeting unique moments and nature.

United Kingdom
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.
