Aleph Contemporary for AccessArt (66/73)

Notes


I work primarily as a painter, but also make drawings, small sculptures and take photographs. I am interested in exploring the language of paint by investigating the threshold between abstraction and representation. I maintain three specific sites of practice; my kitchen table, where I make small objects, my shed, where I paint on paper, and my studio. These three spaces create an ongoing dialogue between different ways of working and different paces. The paintings in the shed are rapidly made, with intuitive revisions and reworkings. The more realised works, made over longer periods of time in the studio, are informed by both these and the small objects. 

Recent exhibitions include “Swimming Backwards” at Sid Motion, London, “Oxlade Soup” at Terrace Gallery, London, “Baffle” a solo exhibition with Aleph Contemporary and “Lost in Abstraction 1, 2, 3” curated by Alistair Hick with Aleph Contemporary. I was shortlisted for the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2018 and 2019, both exhibitions touring nationally, and was long listed for the Contemporary British Painting Prize in 2021. Forthcoming exhibitions include “A Generous Space”, Hastings Contemporary.
