A field of Concrete Ephemeral Dreams
For some time my work has explored ideas of movement and semi controlled painting by using household paint, and domestic materials such as coaxial cable to explore the edges of abstraction, figuration and the art object.
I am currently revisiting the estate that I grew up in and I have started to develop paintings from this. I see Thamesmead as the setting of an urban portal to distil poetic images from my social background and formative experiences.
In the work I attempt to explore haptic and optic visualities embodied in art objects that form a hypostatic union, invoking a sort of dream or subconscious language based on these experiences.
