My ongoing painting practice focuses on breaking down physical forms, surfaces and textures. The work encompasses an interplay between structured and intuitive gradual abstractions; investigating processes of slow looking and the distillation of glimpses and gestures through painting. My work is positioned as an attempt to foreground and consider the highs and lows of studio practices – inviting consideration of periods of working/ not working/ not knowing what to do. I’m interested in thinking about how artists make, exhibit, re-work, love and hate what they do. I have exhibited widely, with solo exhibitions taking place in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester and Berlin. Recent paintings have been included in group shows in New York, London, Seoul and Beijing, and I have been included in the 2025 John Moores Painting Prize as well as the Biennial of Painting in Swansea (BEEP 2020, 2022 and 2024).
