Its all about timing . I usually start to create a picture in my mind , swapping and changing the dimensions of paint as I go along until I can visualise what I want to achieve . The blank canvases around me are a constant reminder that I start to use them and after a few days I put ideas to canvas usually by deciding what materials I will use to make the painting 2 dimensional .

Occasionally I envisage the end result ie what I want it to look like but most of the time i create an idea as I go along which is very exciting .

Cement especially has its own life , as some of it crumbles away from the canvas once it has dried , giving the works a sense of self destruction , therefore creating its own form and pattern on the canvas that was not produced by myself consciously . Fibre Glass resin provides a shine , like a sheet of glass that protects its colours and
