I find my work becoming more intentional in constructing a space that uses unlikely intersections of form and colour to hold itself together, implying both natural and architectural forms. 'Litterfall' is almost collage-like in its process and appearance: shapes built from paint, layered with sheer pastel and thin acrylic. These webs of playful colour seem to carve out active and in-between spaces of ambiguous 'things' that are there, or not there, that lack permanence, and prompt possible pathways and resolutions. This composition of rising and falling shapes: propped up by space and by themselves, pillars, material, leaves, dirt, water..(whatever it is) manifest as nebulous atmospheres, biomorphic, both natural and engineered and all rendered in vivid colour.
