The process of discovering imagery has revealed a tendency towards the obsessive. This has manifested itself in the creation of complex and intricate works, with a busy and frenetic quality. ‘I can can and you can can’ and ‘Fleshy frolics’ are two very large pastel drawings which show a supreme enjoyment of detail and an obsessive fascination with repetition of gesture and of small-scale imagery.

As well as my own discovery of images in the process of creating the works, I would hope for viewers to be drawn into the detail and to discover images for themselves as they explore the surface and query some of the visual ambiguities.
