I currently work almost exclusively on paper, using a resist of some sort (linseed oil, wax, oil pastel etc) in combination with watercolour, acrylics and occasionally other materials such as graphite and clay. The way in which these materials embrace or reject one another acts as a metaphor for human interaction and reflects some of the themes I am exploring as an artist.

In my recent work I have been trying to describe the particular significance I see in people, events, and their relationship to the passage of time.
