Art Week

My work is unconditionally figurative. It is typified by the themes of personal loss and mourning, the inevitable decomposition in nature and life, and the memories which are ultimately all that endure. It has become increasingly preoccupied with the dichotomy of life and decay as inseparable, as one and the same. For a lot of life the destruction of one thing is necessary for the growth and renewal of another. In this way both tragedy and beauty can be found in decay. There is always the hint of an unspoken grief which never quite unravels itself from its decorative expression. I paint the loss of a moment more beautiful than this one, never to be recaptured.
