My work has three threads running through it. The industrial Black country of my youth, the wild wilderness of Shetland where I now live and my Christian faith. My Black Country work explores themes such as oppression, exploitation and urban decay, whilst my Shetland work explores themes such as freedom, rebirth and growth. I work instinctually, the imagery and narrative evolving as I wrestle with the formal elements of composition. I make a lot of large woodcuts that force unclear ideas into shape. With paint, I explore the expressive possibilities of colour, often working outside in wild weather.
