'I grew up in Australia where the power and scale of the landscape, particularly the vast interior deserts, was a formative and lasting influence. Over the following years I travelled widely, firstly within Australia, and then throughout Asia, spending several years in India and later living in England and America.
The early fascination with remote and wild places continues. I was and still am, drawn to the silence of the desert and the mountains, but now also to other places and other images that somehow capture the same sense of stillness, space and timelessness– old industrial sites on the edges of towns and cities; a tangle of power lines disappearing into the distance; an empty frozen landscape with a road train headlights appearing from the gloom.
The paintings themselves are not about any specific place, although I often use visual references in the early stages of the work – photographs, film stills, images from magazines. What I’m attempting to do through the depiction of these diverse and nameless places is to provide a space of resonance, of interiority and inner recognition – a moment of stillness.'
