ARTIST STATEMENT

'These paintings result from a sojourn on the Greek island of Sifnos, situated in the southwest arpeggio of the Cyclades.  Living and working in an isolated cottage with no electricity or internet, surrounded by olive trees and goats, it’s possible to feel cut off from the world yet more connected to it.  Inspired by the sensuous austerity of the landscape - the immensity of the sky and sea, the weathered landscape inscribed with human toil – these works attempt to harness the material dimension of painting to evoke the sensuality of the natural world and our place in the cosmos. The works play at crossing the line between abstraction into representation, and in doing so affirm the physical nature of painting and its ongoing history.'
