2022 was been taken up with a major project involving three substantial installations of multiple, small, observational paintings from a variety of objects. Each installation has a color theme, the first is white, the second red and the third, yellow and blue (see CURRENT section).
The early inspiration for these works was the sorting through of my late mother’s and then father’s belongings after the death, in 2021, of my father and step-father. Many trips back to their respective homes in England and many hours of discovery, introspection, sorting and decision-making, prompted me to consider how I wanted to make work which marks this significant point in my life.
This task, concluded with my contemplating the nature of objects, their singular significance to their owner, their origins, and why we choose to surround ourselves, sometimes for almost a lifetime, with ‘ things’. Such items tell us a great deal about their custodians and then the choices we make as beneficiaries. What to keep or discard and why, reveals a lot about ourselves.
Ultimately, these three installations will become part of a group exhibit at the Carnegie Centre in New Albany in November 2023. The overall theme is small and intimate. This work has been my sole focus over the past twelve months.

2013
Two house moves in two years has meant little time for involvement in exhibitions. However, new work has been in production and I have made some exciting developments.
Collaboration with a metal fabricator on forged steel pieces has allowed me to pursue an interest in wall sculptures. These include found objects but also, my own, small paintings. (See some this work under "Current" category).
