Some things don't survive the process. Most of the paintings shown here are now either hidden beneath other pictures or turned into confetti. I document my painting process regularly, which can become a painful reminder that i should have stopped there with some works. But painting for me is a process of painting out the things i love the most and learning to let go. At the end of some days when risks have been taken and irreversible changes are made, all i am left with is a bare studio floor with nothing but paint splodges, exhausted brushes and a feeling that i can never quite describe - its a roller coaster. The transience of this process is often hidden by the permanence of paint and can only be seen in the wrinkles and layers. A finished picture tells so many lies.
