I primarily work as a painter and mixed media artist currently based in Glasgow. My work explores form, structure, colour and texture with the intention of reflecting my physical, emotional and psychological experience of a place or subject. I aim to construct penetrable scenes, environments or ‘scapes’, in which to immerse the viewer. I am trying to relate the experience of moving through that space, allowing the formation of their own narratives emerging from my own. The paintings draw upon a mixture of memory and observation to create the feeling of a combined cityscape, memoryscape and dreamscape. The work focuses on the inanimate, derelict, unnoticed and the not yet fully formed within the Glasgow cityscape. While my process in painting parallels this in its action of doing and undoing, making and unmaking exposing the qualities of something coming into being in its accumulation of material or the evident trace of its removal. The urban landscape forms a physical and psychological space, a space to materialise my relationship with the world around me that I navigate through the action of painting. This has evolved into a real interest in the industrial and architectural elements that make up the Glasgow cityscape and how I can communicate a feeling of place.
