I try not to imitate anything but aim for the paintings to exist naturally by letting the process lead. Whilst becoming immersed in the act of picture making and switching off the controlling mind a subconscious force takes over. Images emerge that resemble weather worn surfaces, stormy imaginary terrains and objects suspended in ambiguous atmospheres. For me it is all about the incidents and painterly discoveries I make along the way. An excavation reveals the initial bones of the painting to the final brushstroke that is synchronised with the head and the heart when it all falls into place. All in all, everything in my daily experience manifests itself upon the canvas.
