The main focus of my work is painting and creating architectural ‘Environments’ and part of my process is painting in public. I observe marks that are made in the work / living place and I am interested in the psychology behind these marks. I would like my practice to contribute to the discourse of painting but I want to bring in new ideas from other contemporary artists. My research into the work of Mike Nelson, Simon Starling, Janet Cardiff & George Bures Miller, Atelier Bow – Wow (Yoshiharu Tsukamoto and Momoyo Kaijima), Rachel Mason and other contemporary artists will help me to investigate my ‘environments' and this will lead to new work and may push out the boundaries of my practice. Presently I am examining and playing with surfaces and forms via painting from marks made in the workplace.
