Bad Painting - selected works

Bad Painting is a long-term body of work that combines image and text to register contemporary events and lived experience. It forms an earlier phase of the practice, from which the work has more recently begun to move away.

While this work engages directly with language and explicit subject matter, my recent paintings move away from text and towards a more open, painterly approach, focusing on structure, presence and what remains after events.
