I am currently exploring painting as a material. I would have considered myself a visual artist that used many different materials to convey an idea. After attending a recent painting symposium held by MTU, discussing the ‘death and resurrection’ of painting I am reconsidering. I am interested in why we are so intent on defining or categorising the work.

After listening to many speakers but Prof. Alistair Payne in particular, I am struck by the idea that my work is all ‘painting’, just using a variety of materials… interesting idea …..but for now, I am experimenting with actual paint as a medium. Not there yet, the medium is too solid for me. It needs further exploration….. watch this space
