This gallery features work that is underway in the studio. This is just a visual record of emerging themes and activities. I am currently looking at two strands.
Classical purity and 'whiteness' and gender identity.

I am investigating these themes through a series of paintings that make reference to older forms of representation, classical relief carvings or casts and through 'fig leaf' details taken from Northern European paintings (Durer, Cranach etc) of Adam and Eve.

I am always very interested in the way contemporary debates sometimes invoke or challenge the past.
