(2024 – Current)

This series explores the emotive power of colour and light, inspired by abstract expressionism, particularly Mark Rothko and Helen Frankenthaler who achieved a remarkable purity of expression and emotion in their work.

Here I am closely attuned to the feeling of darkness and light coexisting within the same artwork, as though one is dependent on the other to enable the fullest expression. This is also to me the perfect analogy of the human condition.

Texture is another important consideration in this series. Film grain plays a part, as does my choice of the source images I photograph, from ancient crumbling walls and natural stone to windswept oceans and moody skies.
