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.

These abstract paintings and drawings unfold through layers of marks, lines, and shifting transparencies—an exploration of light and dark, warm and cool. Recurring patterns, built through gesture, erasure, and reworking, reveal diamonds, crosses, curves, and figures. When every mark falls into place, something meaningful resolves, pointing beyond the material color and form. In this slow process of looking and revising, intuitive feeling and careful structure meet, allowing an inner sense of order to emerge from the play of chance and intention.
