Mixed media on canvas 20″ sq
A seashell and other objects are embedded into and onto the canvas. The shell although like an ear is as much sending as catching a message in the form of a cloud whisper. What might be a landscape or seascape is turned to form another plane or reality.
Transcending the Presence : The Lucid Moment
Mixed Media and acrylic on canvas. 40cmsq
There is a suggestion of an angel, perhaps in transition from an earthbound reality. The collaged fragments are from a magazine article on the aerial photography of Edward Burtinsky. There is a mix of plan and elevation and of object and image.
Mixed media including bitumen and cement with assemblage on canvas
2014 8″x 8″ x 2″
A continuation from the ‘bare roots’ series, this piece relies more on composition and texture. The natural colour of the cement ground is more obvious.
In Night Leaves there is also a more deliberate attempt to create a sense of allegory.

This contiuation from the Grass Roots series aims at a darker allegorical meaning.
Bare Roots I
A series of three small (8″sq) paintings using mixed media and cement on canvas.
Bare Roots II
Bare Roots III
Bare Roots; the origins revealed or left by paring to the essentials. Again this concerns beginnings. A continuation from the ‘grass roots’ series, these pieces rely more on composition and texture and surface. The natural colour of the cement ground is more obvious than in many of the other pieces.
A series of four small (8″sq) paintings using mixed media and cement on canvas.
Grass Roots: the origin or basis of something; the basic or primary concept, rule, part, or the like. Again this concerns beginnings. Each piece started with a fragment of grass root from local moorland. These pieces also use collaged fragments of imagery created through digital manipulation of my landscape photography.

Grass Roots III
Grass Roots IV
Again inspired by nature and infinity this series celebrates the magical aspects of the world around us.
The final image in the series 4 Enchanted Spaces
Mixed media and acrylic paint and medium with embedded objects on cement on canvas
20″ x 20″ 2014
The third image in a series of Enchanted Spaces. Two ideas collided here.
I was seeing the image as a poetic visualisation of ‘The Field of the Cloth of Gold’, evocative and romantic words reaching beyond the Tudor history. These visualised perhaps as a banner above glinting armour with an earthy ground. The hearaldry of a mythic pomp and circumstance.
Learning of ‘phase transition’ via a radio discussion it (the image) seemed also to depict the description given by the physicist to explain this phenomenon. The edges where properties of matter change in different conditions were described as a volatile mix of structure and space.
So the golden cloth is at some level in a flux with more or less stable edges.
Within within.
