Transparency, colour and light fascinate me. Particularly the translucent light of the computer monitor. The way computer images are created, giving the illusion of layers of coloured light, enables me to explore this fascination. But I want to make an image on screen and then take it out and shape it with my hands. The image produced with the computer forms the raw material for the work.
Computers have their own quality of space. The depth seems infinite. Layer upon layer can be created so that, when viewed through one layer to another, only the merest trace of a mark might be seen. Or something might be glimpsed through or round a line wandering across the foreground, which meanwhile, is slipping out of the picture plane. The spaces between are as physical as the forms. It's bringing that play between space and image into the real world, shaping its transparency, laying layer on layer, making the transparency in the image, a positive element, that my work is about.
