I give a lot of thought to the nature of painting and its possibility in the world today. Painting as: an idea; an object; a process of substance: these thoughts never seem far behind whatever it is I get up to in my studio. Recently I have felt that I should be doing something more than producing coloured rectangles of goo and marks of charcoal and pencil on cut up bits of unstretched canvas and paper with glue and household paint, and words. I’m trying to take my work beyond the gallery to engage with new spaces and audiences. The challenge of how to do this excites me a lot but the rarefied quiet of the white cube excites me, too; I want to do both if I can. Spaces, and their attendant language and discourse, are my principle distraction right now. Spaces without people in them.
