‘Writing about music is like dancing about architecture’ goes the saying, and while I’m happy to write about other people’s work, writing about my own feels disingenuous, whether that’s in music, writing or visual art. The cultural world influences my portraits, the paint itself influences my abstracts, and it’s at its best when I bring them together successfully (though success is an entirely subjective term in art). I acknowledge and love the history of art and culture, and try to add whatever is happening in the present moment to it, in my own style. My work in painting and poetry tends to be: 'make, then see what I've made' – concept follows production, via the subconscious - and my new motto is: ‘if it doesn’t look like it could have been made by AI, then it’s successful’.
