“Duality is the state or quality of being two. For the most part this has been both consciously and subconsciously an underlying theme throughout my artworks. My interests lie within incorporating multiple perspectives, feelings or contrasting elements that intersects our world, this dualism of imagery is then played out in paint over a singular picture plane so that it conflicts and distorts our own perceptions of reality, so that the familiar becomes less familiar. My approach to realist painting is to be innovative and explore contrasting elements in an attempt to find a harmonious balance between realism and abstraction. I use paint in a constructive and deconstructive manner so that order and chaos or the structured and organic can sit together side by side.”
