“My painting attempts to engage with shifts in time and space by looking at how these relate to the spatio-psychology of the city. Networks, cyberspace, architecture and urban planning change the nature of the city’s places and questions about geographical location and the importance of places provide another focus of interest for my painting. I often bring together unconnected elements, buildings and figures, and composite them to create a new, invented place. I also use high or unfamiliar and/or impossible views to examine how a viewpoint might enable a psychological shift as well as spatial and temporal ones. The work also aims to question what makes a place authentic or inauthentic”
