I wanted to capture many time frames playing simultaneously before my eyes: the deep geologic time of the rock strata, the rhythmic oscillation of the gentle waves, and our place in the moment – signified by actions as a player in the frame, or our position as the viewer.

Numerous photos taken in a single day are superimposed leaving a single composite image, evoking a shrouded memory or apparition.

This series of work is an exploration of my interest in the image's relation to memory in a culture where it is predominantly archived and experienced digitally.

When time is mine, I like to walk about the city and absorb all that I can see. I'm attracted to the many materials, forms and patterns surrounding me, especially the reflection of sky, clouds and neighbouring buildings in glass curtain walls. I find affinity in the modular shapes that repeat rhythmically.

Similar to many others I like to travel, walk and explore, whether it be my local surroundings or the exotic and less familiar. I witness the present and sense histories fleetingly. These maps are selections and recollections of the experienced, the imagined and the proposed.

This is a series rooted in the history of cities. A Prince's Capital is the city whose fortunes are typically linked to those of the ruling elite. The history and development of a Merchant's City is built upon trading links.

I selected motifs and images from street plans, the work of visionary architects, periodicals and books, which are then projected on to the painting's surface to create a mesh of ideas hand-drawn in ink. Further elements were painted, airbrushed or spray-painted on to the canvas.
