This site is beginning as an excavation — a gradual revealing of the wider practice beneath: the archive, the materials, the stories, the installations, the digital translations, and the work still forming.

A slightly more poetic version:

Painting is the visible surface.

Beneath it lies a wider practice of material enquiry, memory, image, object and place. This website will unfold slowly, as an archive being opened and new work being uncovered.

A sharper holding-page version:

Painting only scratches the surface.

I am opening up the layers beneath my practice — works, archives, collaborations and material investigations that have long sat below view. This site will grow gradually, as the work is uncovered.

My favourite for your actual hero page:

Painting is the surface from which the excavation begins.

A growing archive of works, materials, stories and investigations — gradually unfolding as new connections are uncovered.
