There is no specific external source to the imagery in my work. The forms and textures within are developed to depict a sense of organic metamorphosis, arrived at intuitively through the process of painting. The forms within the paintings are descriptive, yet remain indefinable, something existing in a state of inbetweeness, neither solid nor fluid, animate or inanimate. This friction between two states creating a sense of mutability and an underlying unease in their uncertainty. It is this abject kind of feeling that interests me, a discomfort in growth and sensation of the stuff that gets under the skin.
