The use of photography and painting has become a constant dialogue in my work. The need to assess how to apprehend an image through photographic means is problematic and intriguing. I feel this is where my concern lies: that is, the relation between how an image is processed and the personal 'apprehension' of that image.
A recent intention within my work has been learning how to make decisions about what to extract from the photograph and how to progress from a pre-existing image. It is an attempt to resolve/resist the photograph and to turn the image into a new form: altering the form of the figure and distorting the original image creates the painting.
