I paint using a system of chance to select my colours. By chance, I throw darts at a dartboard bull's eye. When I miss the bull's eye I hit a numbered wedge and paint with its corresponding colour. This arbitrary system carried out in a playful spirit results in surprising colour combinations.
My artistic focus revolves around elements of play, discovery and visual dynamics. I see visual dynamics as the play of colour, visual effects, the nature of paint and its various applications and interactions. The tension between abstract expression and representational imagery intrigues me.
