My 2016 solo exhibition at Skyeworks features a new subject, roses, inspired by the rambling pink roses growing so enthusiastically outside my studio. I’m not aiming for traditional flower still lifes, but more like colourfields (think: my love of Rothko?s paintings) based on flowers. Patterns and colour tied to reality. The dance between abstract and reality; now you see it as a pattern and now it?s a rose. The joy of flowers, whilst simultaneously being fragile and ever-changing as blooms open fully and then fade.
