"If you’re going to make art, you might as well make it about something big." - Huffington Post UK May 2012
If selected I will be showing a new series of explosion paintings. This series was born out of a desire to detach myself from my painting through a kind of scientific process. I think I told Radio Derby ( :/ ) that 'messing around with explosives in a field is more fun than sitting in my damp studio drawing.'
I also work in film and digital print.
