My work usually explores subjects that might be considered inconsequential, unattractive or even disturbing at first sight: Such diverse things as microscopic bacteria or urban debris might provide the inspiration for my abstract, multi-layered oil paintings and prints. Through a process of deconstruction, I hope to reveal the beauty that lies in unexpected places, and this becomes the focus of my finished pieces. As a result, my work is often aesthetically appealing, yet it always retains traces of its origins. I aim to beguile, intrigue and occasionally unsettle the viewer, taking them back through my creative process so they too can find fascination in things they might otherwise ignore.
