Figure in the urban landscape, solo show at Robin Gibson Gallery 2008
These etchings and paintings were created between 2007 and 2008. The work explores the figure in the urban landscape depicting vernacular scenes from my everyday life. The characters perform mundane rituals of urban life, in transit, having lunch or simply waiting. Not only does the landscape define us, we also play and important role in defining the landscape that we inhabit.

An Ordinary Day - Paintings
An Ordinary Day considers the city through fleeting observations made while moving through it. Figures, vehicles and fragments of the built environment appear momentarily, often partially obscured or seen from an indirect viewpoint.
The works focus on the transient spaces of everyday movement — roads, stations, platforms and the spaces between destinations. Cropping and shifts in focus isolate fragments from the continuous movement of the city, drawing attention to incidental moments and encounters that might otherwise pass unnoticed. 2015-2017
