The Press Cuttings paintings are derived from images cut from newspapers and magazines. The pictures share an all-over pattern-like quality which results in a dispersed composition with no obvious centre of interest.

     I particularly like the fact that the pictures can be viewed effectively from a distance and differently , but equally effectively, from close up. The Initial images are necessarily small, the paintings fairly large and this gives plenty of room for changes to occur during the painting process.
