''My paintings begin with marks made quickly, almost before thought has organised itself. Charcoal, graphite, acrylic and oil are put down, rubbed away, dragged back through, covered, scratched into and left to return in fragments. I am interested in the point where a painting stops behaving like expression and starts behaving like ground.''
