I paint from photographs. I try to work with themes. The 'Road' series was planned as an attempt to record events of the everyday, with the names of each painting being the actual location where I was standing when the photograph was taken. I put photocopies onto the canvas and then paint on top. When I've finished I often add text to the work. In the 'Venice' series I've referenced the cinema screen and narrative. 'Dockside Dandies', a working title, is research into a 1960's craze for distinctive suits amongst young fisherman in my hometown, that is at an early stage and is 'in-progress'. 'Buildings' is an attempt to reclaim social housing and architecture from the post-war years; an exciting project which is also at an early stage and promises much for the future...
