Track is a set of colourful paintings that deal with the darkest experiences of our lives: disease, death and grief. Inspired by mass media imagery and its ability to engage our emotions in a safe, socially acceptable way, they can still move us. Perhaps even haunt us...
All my work is done 'by hand'. I rely on the process of seeing then drawing or painting: no tracing. I work from edited computer-prints snatched by my camera from a flickering television screen, but the transfer from digital to paint is by observation only.
‘Track 3’ returned to it’s television origins: it was exhibited on the big screens for ‘Art Takes Times Square’ in New York ‘Track 8’ was shortlisted to the second round for inclusion in the John Moores 2012 painting prize.
