Painting started for me in 1989/90, with the sleeve of The Stone Roses first album. Which their guitarist, John Squire painted and designed in the style of Jackson Pollock...
I have come to understand that what I paint is the interplay of the wider world I inhabit and my internal landscape. The delicate balance between them stirs a sequence of sensations: mainly ecstatic, sometimes horrific. These cause a colour collision, in which I find self revelation, bliss and ultimately freedom. Also, and perhaps most importantly, painting is the purest joy I possess.
