The floor at San Giovanni in Laterano in Rome was the starting point but the calm of the underlayer is disrupted by a second layer of geometric shapes which brings the painting forward towards the viewer. I hope viewers will engage with this optical challenge. The painting is on aluminium which forms an important part of the composition.

I make paintings. An instinct for geometry and pattern-making, combined with a fascination for three-dimensional effects worked onto the flat plane of the canvas, typify my practice. My most recent works are painted on aluminium, which has led to a more general change of approach to surface. Metal supports have long been used by artists and the smooth flatness necessarily requires a particular method of working: a need to organise in advance, spontaneity ceding to calculation and precision. Part of this is that some of the aluminium surface is left unpainted, a critically important part of the painting as the surface reflects light unlike a linen or cotton duck canvas. There is an interplay between the pale reflecting shapes, and those that are painted. The resulting work does not directly represent a subject. By agitating the surface, the painting tends to extend into the space between the viewer and the painting, which creates a mood or non-representational response to a precise external experience. My way into abstraction was through the topography and field shapes of North Yorkshire and, although my work is no longer a direct response to landscape, the sharp corners of geometric shapes still correspond to fields enclosed by dry stone walls seen from a distance and at an oblique angle. Previously my work was multi-layered, the original painting obscured by gesso then rubbed back to reveal its origins, a painted palimpsest. Now my work is situated entirely in the present, not referring back but engaging directly with the ‘current’.
