I make paintings and immersive installations. The paintings are based on iconography taken from several different cultural discourses at once. The very new way of working is to make the painting (and clean up the brushes) in a 12 hour day, following a similar ethos to my endurance cycling! I get up at 6am, have a hearty breakfast, eschew all social media and reading until the day is finished and enter the studio with a cleansed mind. I work from memory, making associations in the moment. I see the quitting of a painting during that day as akin to abandoning one of my bike rides and getting the train home, in short, unthinkable!
