Totem
The latest works in this continuing series are imbued with a broader and more vibrant palette. As the viewer is once again asked to plot their way through the vertical columns, I have used a chromatic scale of hues and tones to add tension in each piece. The interplay of boundary and space is carefully weighed as I instinctively puzzle each composition out and dissolve the geometry that holds the environment together.

I've been expanding my colour palette and exploring my ongoing series of totem paintings. Again, I've used vigorous swipes of paint contained within a geometric environment to encourage the viewer to enter in (I've taken some fresh inspiration from Yakoi Kusama's infinity rooms when dwelling on exhibtions which moved me in recent years). In the latest work 'Fabricator', lockdown has led me to revisit old memories, reference materials and textrures which have become fragments that appear on the columns - cropped and painted to the point of abstraction.
