"I don't abstract from anything... I am involved with real space ... real light, and real surface." Robert Ryman.
Previous paintings or paintings by someone else, photos or other images initiate possibilities or act as starting points for new paintings. As the painting develops it is always the structure that is the most important feature. Numerous opposites such as drawing and painting, transparency and opaqueness, line and plane, glossy and matt surfaces come together in a free and sometimes geometric composition.
Often a painting will develop through a series of layers and motifs which have been developed over time. Some layers will be visible and motifs and patterns will be distorted and changed as the painting develops. Some are visible as the light changes.Sometimes a line appears and that then becomes the motif of the painting and then the motif of the next painting or series of paintings.
