I am interested in the use of every day painting materials, such as spray and enamels, using unconventional tools, pouring and scraping, and varying the speed in which paint is applied. I want the viewer to be able to see underneath the finished surface, to reveal the construction of the painting. I aim for the paintings to reflect the speed of contemporary life (Dave Hickey in Optic Nerve 2007 discusses the possibility of a "coherent, operative mental system of knowing, thinking responding and making judgements that exists outside of our own conscious awareness" and the implications this has for visual, abstract, communication); the over saturation of images, colours and textures we are familiar with through the internet, advertising, television, cinema and music. I want the work to be fast paced; made fast, observed fast, taking on aspects of the many lived, experiential and temporal resources abundant to us.
