The Days Go Forever

By simplifying forms and fragmenting them as the cubist did I’m investigating ideas around the compressions of large amounts of information into the one image. Everything that can be seen can be broken down into shapes and colours. My paintings and drawings break down the visual and simplify it into shapes then fragmenting and merging them to produce an abstract image.
I like to paint on recycled materials as I believe there are enough ‘things’ in the world and try to avoid buying more when I can. Our society is founded on a consumerist theology which has resulted in not only social problems but is also destroying out natural environment. The canvas works are painted on top of another painter’s work that he had discarded and I have left parts of his work visible to allow it to play a part in my paintings.
