About The Artwork
Having grown up in the East End of London I have always been fascinated with the imagery of the slum clearance that happened there during the 1970's. This fascination leads me to create stylized scenes depicting the people who lived there against a backdrop of dilapidation and change. In this painting we see two girls playing on a wasteland in front of a partly demolished building. Despite the environment they find themselves in the joy of youth and adventure is evident.

United Kingdom
I was born and grew up in Stratford in East London at a time when much of the area still bore the scars of the war. As a child of the 70's I watched my neighbours being re-housed as part of the instigation of the slum clearance, including the demolition of my own home. This period of my life affected me deeply. The time I spent wandering around these empty homes, witnessing the left behind 'things' (deliberately or by design) would subconsciously inform my subject matter of my paintings many years later. When starting any new work I try to tap into these memories and the emotions they bring me.
