"The pictures, though abstract, attempt to evoke a sort of ambiguous feeling of landscape; perhaps an abandoned industrial site, perhaps somewhere half-remembered or dreamt. Sometimes they allude to shapes found in maps, or of mechanical parts of locks and clocks; like old technical drawings of machines whose scale and purpose is unclear. There’s often a calligraphic element, lots of contrast, plenty of black and a certain amount of spillage. Above all though, the aim is to make images which communicate in purely visual terms, without recourse to supporting documentation."
