"I’ve always liked the idea that my images have a certain restlessness about them, a stubborn resistance to pigeon-holing and definition.
They exist on the shadowy threshold of things – always on the point of emerging from – or else returning to – the darkness that gives them life.
It‘s this quality of tentatively approaching definition, of keeping my work open to multiple interpretations, that gives me the greatest satisfaction and simulates, I hope, a powerful imaginative response."
