STILL LIFE COMPOSITIONS

I enjoy the absurd and surreal, and sometimes it comes through when I am throwing together the different forms, textures, colours and contours of things from my collection boxes. Juxtaposing these bodies creates tension between them, their exact positioning is important and seeing the shadows and highlights appear is what makes composing an exciting part of creating a painting.

I like to use objects which don’t have a real purpose in their setting, they can symbolise all sorts of things or nothing, and occasionally I find a truly anonymous object and these are the most interesting to portray.
