Painting at first was painting, trying to do it in similar ways. What draws me always is how to strike that balance and end-point where everything assumes a seemingly effortless arrangement. Painting, now, is continuing to paint.
It is amazing that anything can become the basis for picture-making. For me it is figurative. By figurative I also mean documenting: that to which I stand witness. Lately my work has been coloured by trying to mimic our society’s aptitude to produce, waste and consume.
