The lightness and speed of our electronic and migratory age fulfill human desires to forget decay and death, and at times provide beauty, exhilaration and pleasure. But needs for stillness and solidity, for home, needs that come with our embodied existence, cannot be ignored. My paintings show the allure of speed, colours and light of urban life, an ephemerality that is contradicted by the materiality of paint. I use paint as a reminder of our biological reality; paint's slowness, its flowing, dripping, congealing and cracking, are all too familiar attributes to our own deteriorating bodies.

My paintings are oil on canvas, unless otherwise indicated.
