The painting On Lost Shores, Swaying To And Fro, I Sink Here Smiling, Up At That Big Big Blue. was made alongside other works, mostly inspired by Pieter Bruegel The Elder, and his clambering peasant scenes, mixed with John Cage and the concept of loop and repetition. I’ve been looking at how something, once repeated or duplicated, can become invisible, exploring the relationship between multiple canvases’ joining as one work. Where one painting ends, another starts, creating this sense of continuous momentum. This painting On Lost Shores… plays with this, as the figures are swarmed together, spilling out the canvas on the right-hand side; as you expect another canvas, there’s an absence and an awkward tension created, as the image is abruptly cut off.

I’ve recently been looking at the concept of escaping, searching, or wanting to move on, yet equally not wanting to, mixed with the feeling of wanting to return. This continuous push/pull, or highs and lows, references both socio-economic background, personal ups and downs, and the concept of above and below, heaven and hell. This painting was also greatly inspired by Turner’s Snow Storm - Steam-Boat off a Harbour’s Mouth, living currently by the sea in Margate, this painting holds also the balance between domesticity and elements beyond our control. There’s turmoil, mixed with familiarity. The cartoons create humour as audiences recognise the resemblance between Max Fleischer’s Bimbo and Pop-Eye, mixed with the agony, and violence of this literal scene unfolding before you.
