My work is concerned with capturing split-second moments; the sense of a fleeting experience or memory, held indelibly 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 shiny, slippy surface: brushing, softening, scratching, wiping back, my goal is to disturb the glassy 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 to spark a flicker of nostalgia in the viewer alongside a possible narrative .  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 down the back of  the sofa that jogs the feeling of a memory one can’t quite be sure of or put a finger on.​
