"Pale Cities"

There is a sense of independence felt by most in this world

of the immediate. At our periphery we barely touch upon the

structure that supports our everyday existence. The current

social, political and economical situation of the developed

world has become so intertwined and reliant. However the

sense of individuality is inherent within us. There are multiple

edges at which we intersect with our neighbours.

Co-existence requires respect and understanding.

Through heavily worked surfaces and closely guarded

spacing these paintings attempt to illustrate the tension of

relationship within a cityscape. In this case, working with chance as a primarily

creative purpose, allows the work to be less intuitive in the

way a form develops within the abstract art. The influence of

mapping and satellite photography are prevalent. Subtle use

of colour and line produce a narrative told from the artists

perspective.
