The look of my latest work is highly influenced by the combination of Pop Art and still life. The love of paint, combined with the Pop aspects of simple images, powerful colours and repetitive text, gives my work a fresh, bold, fun and dramatic feel. I'm drawn to images in series as a way to explore the interconnectedness of all the parts of a given process. Whether the consumption of a pear, the examination of the contained human form, or the Pop portrait of a car, the series work allows me to trace a path of exploration more thoroughly than a single painting.
