Most of my paintings are landscapes, but it is a particular aspect of the landscape that interests me; the balance between the natural and the artificial, the effect that the imposition of man-made patterns and structures has on our natural surroundings. This is particularly evident in the landscape of East Anglia. I try to express the incongruous, sometimes disturbing quality of these effects, and their underlying abstract forms.
