My inspiration comes from the combination of organic forms found in nature and elements of man made industrial materials. I love the control of nature and how it can change and form the landscape around us overpowering and manipulating the environment. It amazes me how it can create something so naturally astounding by the most simple of processes. What also fasinates me is our (human) impact on the landscape our development and structures that can form very different creations in our environment.

Taking aspects from both forms I recreate these in a controled yet experimental way to form a representation of the relationship between the two subjects. Using a mixture of materials and processes while experimenting with shape and texture a conclusion is formed from the outcome of these activities. Particular attention is payed to the production of my work and paint is used as a physical medium by thinking about the marks it creates and the traces it leaves on the working surface. The surfaces are built up of heavily layered paint across stretched canvas that intrude the viewers plain with their uneven edges and depth.
