These paintings are an attempt to consider and reflect on what painting is, what it can be, first and foremost, for me. I making paintings that aren’t necessarily about something, but which can simply be. An anti-aboutness as it were. Some paintings may depict scenarios, hinting at interaction and consequence, other works come together as a series of coincidences, an unexpected alignment of regular motifs that sit awkwardly and flicker towards recognition without it arriving. The paintings are not only a means of world-building, but also a ‘world un-building’ and an ‘un-world building’. It’s an unravelling but not towards collapse, but towards openness and potentiality of where the painting is, where it’s been and where it can go. Paintings that aren’t sure of themselves, that are on the edge of losing their footing.
