Current practice has begun to explore a dialogue between painting and photography. Investigations focus explicitly on aspects of artistic production, referencing the creative process generated between practitioner, materials and idea. Particular emphasis is given not only to perceptions arising during the act of making paintings but also to those formed retrospectively. The paintings seek to provide an increased opportunity for visual improvisation in response to personal and increasingly varied visual experiences (both actual and remembered). This process, modified largely by intuition, also acknowledges the significant role played by the handling and manipulation of the medium in the generation of visual possibilities.
