feb 2024, installation statement

My work is predominantly an escape from painting into sculpture, I am fascinated by the materiality (for want of a better word) of found things, from which I mount up installations.

I am interested in the environment, and how we care for it, from domestic places to the ocean and the jungle, how people can have a beneficial impact on the world, rather than feeling horrible about how it's going. The world is both internal and external, and bridging this is colour, which I sometimes work with in painting and installation, unseparated, context is very important to me, and I make installations with paintings to go further in expressing how I feel. This is where I am at the moment.
