Paintings

Taken from places on the streets of Nottingham or made from notes scribbled down while travelling around, these paintings depict a world of limits and boundaries, of bars and barriers.

Threaded through all the paintings is a string of themes that lead through landscapes dislocated, restless and driven by a desire to be free and without responsiblity or obedience.

Cerne Abbas Giant.

Okay, so this is not Nottingham but the linea nature of this ancient work echos through time to the modern world of the plans, the bluprints of monumental 'brutal' structures and power

High Rise Flats

FFF - Function Finds Form and the form is good. With everything the same and nothing standing out, the form is featureless. FFF - Form foregoes form and the built environment itself becomes formless and anonymous. When all that is solid melts into air how are we supposed to thrive? Or do we benefit from the uniform?
