    Statement

    My recent paintings imagine small, self-contained worlds where figures operate within their surroundings through simple, almost ritual actions. These scenes hover between what came before and what might remain.

    Their high-key, synthetic colour, from citrus yellows and chemical greens to electric pinks, developed out of earlier work where I used flat grids, bright blocks and artificial palettes to reduce images to their basic structures. Those early paintings worked almost like diagrams, schematic spaces without narrative, representing a world distilled to essentials.

    The current work grows directly from that language. The game-board quality of the grids becomes the stage on which the new figures move, and the digital, plastic colours shift from background experiment to atmosphere. What was once abstract becomes a setting, a nascent terrain built for a single gesture or moment of attention.

    I am interested in how humans first grasped the material world: the beginnings of tools, craft, navigation and wonder. These origins are not reconstructed histories but moments held at the threshold of meaning, where a gesture meets matter and a sense of the world begins to form.
