Taking my viewpoint from the unfixed margin between the rural and urban edge of the city, my imagery is fed by oblique observations of everyday experience. I don’t seek to document specific places or objects but work from memory and imagination. There is absurdity and even humour in my work but also an underlying pathos. My works are imaginative but also reflect reality in some way.
