Callas – five heads across the full width Wall art ranges five white callas across the full width of a panoramic canvas and cuts the outer two at the edges, so the row reads as a section of a longer line — decorative painting whose framing is doing the work. […]

In Space IV – one open frame in white Wall art thins its colour down to a single open red rectangle just below centre and leaves the rest of the canvas to white and cream: abstract painting in which the frame is drawn in two parallel passes and left hollow, […]

Autumn I – three trees above gold water Painting on canvas lines three red-orange trees along a dark band of water and sets them under a pale blue sky, the middle one taller so the row never hardens into a fence — decorative painting whose calm comes from that one […]

Studio – brushes in an orbit of ellipses Wall art orbits a run of thin black ellipses around three long shapes with olive tips, laid one below another like brushes set down after work — abstract painting whose subject is the moment the tools are put aside. A horizontal gold […]

In Space II – a written mark on emerald Wall art lifts a pale calligraphic mark off a dark emerald-olive ground in the thickest relief on the canvas: abstract painting whose one gesture is legible as writing without belonging to any script. A combed band of close waves runs along […]

Stories III – a rusted wall coming away Painting on canvas peels its rectangular panels back to show the layers underneath, so the surface behaves like plaster coming off a wall rather than like paint on cloth: decorative painting for people who read a picture with their eyes close to […]
