"This new series features a mix of geographically real and imagined places, painted from a mix of memory and fantasy. I didn’t use any physical references, just thought about the places and let the feelings and/or remembered images guide me."

"They all feel very nostalgic, which isn’t surprising because they’re all places which played a part in my childhood and coming of age. This is equally true of the imagined ones, like Witch's Cottage, which have likewise functioned as safe spaces or havens in my mind and held me when I needed them. I think the childlike, minimal style contributes to the endearing feeling of these works. There's an innocence and naivety to them I find incredibly disarming and charming. In the way, I suppose, real children and their drawings can be.”

"To create them I laid down base blocks of colour and then carved // ‘drew’ further details into them with the end of a paintbrush or sharp pencil. Depending on the scene, I went back in smaller spots of colour or glitter glue. They’re all signed but the signatures vary depending on my emotional state and ego at the time of making, as well as the mood of the painting. In some cases they’re very prominent, in others they are hidden within the picture."
