My work is concerned with capturing moments; the sense of a fleeting experience or memory, held permanently in the swirling application of paint over a slick surface.  In the act of painting, I manoeuvre and slide translucent layers of oils over a glossy white ground of enamel: brushing, softening, scratching, wiping back, my goal is to disturb the slippery glazes of oily colour until my desired image, and its accompanying sense of something, is secured. My focus is to present the souvenir of a sensation: a suggested token that might tap a flicker of nostalgia in the viewer, a spark to piece together a possible narrative they almost seem to recognise.  I try to give a photographic sensibility to my paintings, hoping to further the sense of a snapshot of a forgotten experience, an old keepsake found behind the sofa that jogs the feeling of a memory one can’t quite be sure of or put a finger on.
