Across all of my work whether it be a painting, drawing, photograph or installation I am working on exploring the relationship between figure-ground perception. The play between the subject, the space around it and the space on which it is created either on canvas or paper. Many of the subjects are animals as I have had a life long interest in all manner of animals including the "human". However, what I love to explores is how the eye travels from the paint or pigment to the area outside that of the subject and how the eye then wanders back to it. The image is after all made up of both the figure and the ground and cannot exist without each other. Both components are important and through my work I ask the viewer to see both.
