I am primarily concerned with colour, tone and gesture within the oil paintings I produce and what these<br />
pictorially imply when set next to a title. In my works there is always a direct connection between a painting<br />
and its title – with any narrative association being generated through the sound of the word. The titles are<br />
chosen through personal preferences for the sound of individual words, often with an interest in the<br />
semantics of the word in mind.<br />
I have been exploring ways of applying and handling oil paint to create different surfaces and textures, finding<br />
that some approaches create surfaces that do not look or even feel like oil paint. The words I am drawn to, and<br />
how I think to interpret them, has influenced the range and variation of painting techniques I have generated.<br />
To me ‘sigh’ is a soft word, like an exhaled puff of air in the cold. This was thought about as a number of thin<br />
layers of pale grey and white paint.<br />
