Abstract painting for me is a kind of meditation. It forces me to work purely intuitively, where what I thought I had intended to work towards is usually in complete contrast to the end product. I do not want to know how an abstract painting will look before I do it and it is impossible to do so, in the approach that I take. I want to be surprised by the result and be left with a new palette of possibilities for the next work, learnt from the experience of the previous one. I love playing with colour combinations and how they create different moods and feelings. If shapes start to form themselves too obviously into recognisable things then I obliterate them, trying to keep things loose enough to suggest, rather than dictate. It is a tricky balance to find but that is what keeps me engaged and interested in it.
