I have two areas of work. First is my interest in regeneration projects and the change to our surroundings. I’m fascinated by the process of change to buildings all around us. Much of this work is large scale drawing projects concerned with demolition and reconstruction – buildings partially there, the machinery being used and the superb new vistas opened up, often only temporarily. I am most interested in the process – when the building is completed, my fascination seems to disappear!

The second area of work is subject led – responding to a whole range of subjects which fascinate me, from boats (I am a sailor myself with a special interest in classic boats), bridges, reflections and shadows to yellow road markings, allotments, gates, topiary and interesting buildings which aren’t going to be demolished but which just speak to us in a unique way.

Birds Series/ Metamorphoses

This series consisting of 15 bird collages started out to explore dimensions and develop a sense of change or metamorphosis. 

I  chose a bird as my subject as it is often associated with evolution. The bird in this series is an archetypical wading bird. The bird’s long thin legs act as frames and create dimensions or other worlds within each picture, sometimes of interiors or to become part of the bird itself.

 In each picture I made a cut-out (stencil) of a bird and built the composition in, around and over-lapping the bird. This stencil was placed on a limited selection of layered magazines, newspapers and discarded paintings. Sometimes I used the negative created by the stencil to repeat the bird by placing it close to the bird.
