My solo show is currently showing from 11th -28th September at Nicholas Thompson Gallery. There are opening rinks tomorrow 4-6pm (sat 14th) all are welcome ;)

I would like to thank immensely talented friends Cerise Howard for writing the essay response and Carmine Frascarelli designing and building the steel components for the exhibition.

The compositions in The Cinematic Background unfold in a somehow familiar mind trip of spaces within spaces, reflecting arrangements of images as painted afterglows of the after image.

Layers suggesting scenes of a felt composition of forms of systems, stacking to excess, facades and fused colours ask what is cinematic to each view point. This could be how a person or a leaf see things at night, such as a shift worker from the hospital walking home by early morning, the streetlight, tree and the little fountain they seem to see each time in passing, or the sky with its sonic collaboration with the sea. These notions reel off what seem like imagined pauses of a world where I believe the big feelings are circulating and cinematic to countless environments within their own sensations.

Some of the paintings are placed on metal components, staging a location connecting shiny structures of suspended colours to imprint the afterimage of so many images formed in worlds past mine.
