My work is always as much about what I eliminate in my painting as it is about what I include. I try to achieve balance by experimentation and elimination, each stage of the development of a composition should be allowed to dictate the creation of the next. These paintings are journeys where each additional layer represents a shift in direction, the body of work represents a continuation of the themes I have been exploring over the past few years. It seems to me that all painting involves illusion - the rearranging of what is real into something different.
