Colour has a significant relevance to me. I aim to strike an aesthetic equivalence through the painting and this could quite easily result in the primary layers being lost as I progress the work and often only mere fragments of colour put down initially will remain.
Heavy and light brush strokes, layers, scratches and pencil marks are reconciled and a relationship between all these elements within the painting is achieved. The process in achieving this relationship and balance I seek is often a fractious one and I can only contemplate finishing a piece when the work starts ‘talking back’.
