Aiming to readdress my experience of London, I take hundreds of photographs of streetscapes. Working from these, I capture in paint fleeting sensory responses to specific movements, colours, and forces, before any verbal associations can skew my visceral perceptions.

I paint with a variety of tools on vibrant grounds, arriving at gestural effects dictated by my body’s instinctive reaction to colour, speed, and sound.

My paintings suggest an alternative to literal vision: they depict not just a landscape, but the contours of a personal, momentary and instinctive interpretation of that landscape.

I recognise a musicality in the interplay of lines and marks hovering over a bright monotone; a collision of consonance and dissonance, evocative of improvised jazz riffs.
