About these works
"Picture for a moment your favourite pet cat eyeing up an empty box. The cat is much bigger than the box, but he wants in, no matter what! He squirms and struggles and tries out all the positions. I am the cat, the box is my canvas. My inspiration - Ball point scribbles I keep in a box, a cauldron of thoughts. Photos, random thoughts, memories and things that have happened in between. What I really love is when simplicity and complexity come together. My process - In this phase it is digital. I try out all the tools. I try out every angle, every colour, every effect. Exhaustively. Lessons are learned on every piece. Frustrating and rewarding. Sometimes I am trapped for weeks, half in, half out the box. Sometimes it comes together fantastically quick. That moment when it becomes real, and I can see it...something that never was, now is. That's what this is all about.
