The studies are painted with a single pigment made from the soil around the plants, which is mixed with linseed oil to make oil paint. The heavy textural quality of the finished work creates an interesting visual link between observation and touch. There is an analytical and geometric approach that links to my interest in Science, measurement, observation, sustainability, evolution and ecology. Art historical aspects relate to Durer's still life "the Turf' and Rembrandt's ideas around the spirituality of brown. Philosophical aspects draw on the importance of the processes and purpose in painting. Whilst a self effacing focus on nature and its most humble materials links to deanthropocentralisation and an interest in the overlooked. Themes that are found in in Budhism and the writings of Karen Barad, Susan Blackmore, Jane Bennett among others. Lastly, the latent potential of earth mirrors the infinite possibilities of painting. “Life comes from earth. Life returns to earth.” Quote from 4 Century BC Chinese Taoist Philosopher ZhangZou.

My recent personal practice is trying to get beyond painting as image construction to look at and highlight the whole process. Among other concerns this includes the reasons for making paintings, the significance of the subjects and the provenance of the materials used. Recently this approach has led back to observational painting, but my work has also included work in ceramics, film, abstract painting and working with communities. All this results in a multi-layered practice informed and actively developing my understanding of pertinent contemporary issues such as Ecological concerns, psychology, identity, Industrial Heritage, the role of Fine Art in Higher Education and New Materialist philosophy. Outside of this I use my skills to provide services to others. This includes arts workshops, decorating and murals.
