The work on display here came about in response to a need to take risks and to adopt a dissident approach to making art, ultimately leading to an exercise in acceptance.

Though the works have been conceived largely from a visual optic, they continue a line of work on paper paradoxically predicated on a logic of object-building rather than on image creation. Bereft of any urge to represent, sometimes they allude to classical painting genres, namely (urban) landscapes and still lifes of modern existence; other times, they are self-contained yet remain under the retinal influence of those models. In any case, they embody an endeavour to foreground a personal way of seeing.

The process of confronting the real is underwritten by immediacy and instinct, in which the unfathomable is a key factor in enabling a true engagement with art. What prevails is the notion of doing what one does not know, in the knowledge that something is always necessarily missing.
