"He climbed towards the ridge of the Tor, leaning on the branch, and however far he climbed the ridge came no nearer. But he knew it was the trick of the Tor, so that only the strong mind would gain the peak. Behind him billowed to the Motherworld."

An encounter with algebra is the starting point for many of these works. The revelation of an equation plotted and lined. To draw the line requires each co-ordinate to be joined, but this in itself never does justice to the curve. Only by letting the hand freely sweep with the curve does the line approach its course and suggest the infinite progress of the equation.
The grid as subject with its rigid cells endlessly repeated, has often been explored. But these qualities are now loosened, untied or seeping, the brushstrokes merely echoing the grid.
And as for the net, what is it but a floating grid? Here its co-ordinates are adrift in the current that shifts its form.

"In Limehouse, east London, there is a giant table and chair made from nearly a quarter of a million sugar cubes (lick it, but don't sit on it)" John Windsor, The Independent on Saturday 2/8/1997
Sweet Conversation, a collaborative piece with Sarah Buist, was made at Cable Street Studios for an installation in the Cable Street Gallery. The piece refers to the building’s former use as a sweet factory. It is located near the east end docks where sugar used to be transported into London. The piece was later exhibited at the Gallery, Stoke Newington and the Whitechapel Gallery.
Press Release:
A quarter of a million sugar cubes were required to realise the piece. Layer upon layer have been used to construct these enlarged commonplace objects. On entering the gallery the material appears to be a solid mass but on close inspection we notice the mosaic like quality of the tiny, glistening sugar cubes.
The proportions are overwhelming and there is an urge to clamber upon these objects which appear strong and solid but in reality are fragile and ephemeral. Destructive urges are aroused with the realisation that the piece, created over a long period of time, could dissolve and disappear in minutes.

The drawings are concerned with the expressiveness of such linear materials as string, twine and wire and the different tensions inherent to each. By starting with the actual materials, exploring their physical qualities and repeating such childhood pastimes as cat’s cradle, sense memories are activated: these processes affect the mood and energy of the resulting drawings and the media and colours are chosen with the purpose of exploring these further. The use of oil bars, enamel paint and Indian dyes is related to specific childhood memories of colour, texture and the physical act of drawing.
