This website (blog) will give an overview of selected projects I have done over recent years.
The PHOTO ALBUMS (top left) open albums by clicking on cover image then for enlargement click on individual image, are arranged thematically, often corresponding with their chronological order.
the PAGES (scroll further down on list also on left), will give selected excerpts from catalogues and other relevant information.
Right from the beginning I have always been interested in translating emotions into a visual language, to give feelings form.
Thematically the work moves between opposite poles: the personal, things I have experienced, seen, imagined or dreamt; and the political, where secondary source material generates primary images.
The underlying subject throughout all my work could best be described with the word CONFLICT. This can be of a political nature or equally inspired by autobiographical events.
Although based in painting, there is a strong installation component to my practice.
All my work is content-led: first of all I need to know what I want to say and then find the most appropriate and economical way to do so.
