The "Urban Reflections" series is inspired by the rapidly changing urban landscape of London and other cities. The intention is to convey the sense of excitement engendered by conditions of light, space, scale and reflection resulting from the changing environment in London.
Integral to the meaning of the work are the many different processes used in creating the images. Some of the techniques involved include stencilling, printing, erasing and glazing in order to build up a layered surface which encompasses both organic and geometrical elements. Computer-aided manipulation and recombination of images also provides a fertile technique generating new and unexpected ideas.
The "Personages" series of paintings "resulted from studies made of my own head reflected in shop windows. I felt as though they said something about my connectedness to the city - me as a part of it, and it as a part of me". The work stimulates questions of identity in todays society.
