These paintings were exhibited at Art Systems Wickham in 2014.

The work in this exhibition has evolved from sketches, photos, objects, images and labours in the gyprock cave, the artist’s studio.

Some images are drawn from medieval and ancient figurative sculptures and votive objects. Other paintings refer to the bare mechanics of the studio, namely light bulbs.

All are vehicles for paint, surface, colour and markmaking. While all the works are recent paintings, references are made to studies the artist has made going back some years. Such is the slow fermentation of ideas and images and their sudden reemergence in another form.
