Works
2026
Morning light held in thin layers of raw sienna and chalk white.
Placeholder artist note. This work began as a single wash of ochre and refused every attempt at correction, so the correction became the painting.
A dim interior at dusk, painted in four near-silent greys.
Placeholder artist note. Painted in the last light of the day, when the room and the canvas finally agree on the same grey.
2025
Second of three night paintings; umber ground, one pale window.
Placeholder artist note. The second nocturne keeps almost nothing of the first — only the habit of listening in the dark.
Hedgerows in winter, reduced to bone-white lines against cold air.
Placeholder artist note. The thorn hedges near the studio, stripped back each winter until only their gesture remains.
2024
A large late-summer canvas where shadow does most of the work.
Placeholder artist note. Painted backwards, from the shadow inward, until the light had somewhere to stand.
Small colour records made outdoors, grouped and framed as one sheet.
Placeholder artist note. A season of small paintings carried in a coat pocket, each one finished before the weather changed.
