Materials There has also been a shift in the way I work, as I began to produce these paintings I began experimenting with watercolour and acrylic paint. Using texture and surface pattern enmeshed together to create a worn, concealed, obscured, esoteric feeling to some of the pieces, I feel I am getting closer to describing the subject matter in a visual sense. Recently I have been exploring the relationships between objects. Removing all distractions, no background or table surface, just the objects, their shadows and the compositional relationship they have with each other. The textural element has transposed itself to the objects, their different surface texture becoming extremely important.
Symbolism is still there although in a simplified version.
