I am drawn to the enigmatic detail of place, the unresolved narrative, peripheral poetry, the glimpse of uncertain associations, the figure when it can present something universal rather than particular. My approach is one of making different series of suggestions, and through whatever formal vocabulary I use, I try to find a point at which there is a quietening down, a stillness, in which the image and the viewer might engage in a sotto voce conversation.
The more intently we look into the spaces we find ourselves occupying, the greater our opportunity to discover their abounding mysteriousness.
