I build my paintings from inherited, arbitrarily-sized wooden off-cuts. These materials cock a snook at the rational world of the grid and act as catalysts for the final, painted structure, wherein forms sometimes collide and at other times don't quite touch. In recent work, paint is applied in a series of translucent layers, creating secondary and tertiary colours and forms where the base structure is out of alignment with the painted surface. The intention is for the resulting paintings to act as open-ended 'interims' – seemingly caught mid-way between resolution and dissolution.
