Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork   

I’m interested in what landscape painting means in contemporary practice as a traditional historical form. Exploring different ways of painting and borrowing from historical applications in painting gives the compositions room to become new things each time. The figurative forms in the compositions may be a house or representative of a person or self, I imagine them flipping between these identities. They are either abandoned or blocking entry, forgotten or lost things. I see them as edgelands, imagined, new and depicting something unfashionable and secondary.  

The paintings included here focus on colour, architecture and fiction, fragmented realities which play out visually in familiar landscapes.
