The genesis of this series comes from my photographs of the shadows cast in the urban environment focusing on the weatherhead: a bundle of wires; the physical point of connection between a building and the public power grid. I employ an array of cast-off elements as translation mediums for painting. With the photographs as a point of departure, the characteristics of everyday materials are transferred to the wood and canvas supports through a range of painted means. The large format paintings involve pouring, spraying, brushing and printing with an allowance for the pigments and solvents to interact as conductors of their properties and materiality. The variably scaled installations of the Weatherhead Sketch Series comprised of 78 panels draws on the close-ups, cuts and montages inherent in poetry and film.
