2018-2020 I started these colour works by spontaneously drawing out horizontal and vertical lines in thin willow charcoal on bright white grounds. I could then erase and redraw the lines up or down, to the left or right, adding or subtracting until a free-flowing feeling was attained. I painted each shape in multiple layers, adjusting tone, contrast, saturation and hue using thin coats of oil colour. For me it expressed an inner vibration, as if I were an instrument playing out a natural rhythm.

My abstract paintings and drawings unfold through layers of marks, lines, and shifting transparencies—an exploration of light against dark, warm against cool. Recurring patterns, built of physical gesture, erasure, and reworking, reveal diamonds, crosses, curves, and figures—emerging like a crystal forming from the material itself. When every mark falls into place, something resolves—beyond the material color and form.
