My current practice engages with the legacies of Abstract Expressionist and Minimalist Painting utilising Geometic
Displacement Models to contemplate new structures for the continuing role of non figurative painting. My recent work
contrasts the intimacy of oil paint evoking the light, colours and surface of the earth with the empty liquidity virtual
displacement geometries that are applied to the backgrounds of increasingly sophisticated video games to promote
and enhance a sense of reality. Emphasizing our shifting horizons and the mediation of experience, beyond the
simple articulation of volumes in space, the paintings hover between interiority and exteriority, representation and
abstraction.
