“ The enamelware tells stories from my distant past, mingled with shreds dialogue I might hear in passing on, say, the street or subway. The enamelware is used because of its similarity in surface to the glass works but also for the ready-made nature of the forms. The forms are re-purposed, obsolete hospitalware, pots and pans. Along with texts they tell a visual story of decline, rejection and re-birth; mirrors showing the viewer looking at and moving through the work; as participant in the story; leaving their own fleeting mark. “

“The new series of work, 'Constructs: the thing about space is that it just keeps going', looks at physical and illusory space and is divided into two bodies of work. Constructed Landscapes, which uncovers and explores the geometry of the magnificent and unending coastline of the far north east of Caithness, Scotland.  And Constructed Space, where the works seem to alternate between 2 and 3 dimensions and in which the viewer is an integral participant.
