old pic

An old piece of work, from around 2010 when Robert Rauschenberg and Mark Bradford were my work’s biggest influences.

bombard

 

This is a small recent piece which employs the pastel palette I have favoured lately. The bomber suggests threat. Holes could be for rivets or made by bullets. The fragility and transience of all existence is implicit.

Anything built can be destroyed.

triptych on woodchip

 

These 3 pieces were chosen and framed by Engine Room gallery curator Cliff Brooks. They started life as part of a larger piece that didn’t work, and I subsequently cut up. I am always amazed when  a large overworked piece can be cut down and arranged to good effect in this way.  The lines and shapes can suggest heavy industry.

the city lies in dust

Translates as “the city lies in dust.”  This is a large piece on wood currently on show as part of Cathedral Studios ten year anniversary exhibition at the Water front hall in Belfast. This image Contains a reworking of 3 Black Flags, an earlier piece. The exhibition runs until the 30th of August.
