The paintings function as discursive formations between images, gestures, signs, symbols, in a fluid, contingent and multi-layered network of meanings and possible relationships. They incorporate, on the same picture plane, a mixture of art historical reference, autobiography and sub-cultural content in a shifting soup of knowledge, conjecture, opinion, guesswork, and the irrational. The connections between ‘events’ within that space create potential new relationships of meaning that accept uncertainty and the possibility of failure.
