“I first became interested in using photography as an integral part of my work, many years ago. I have always been drawn to gesture and immediacy in painting. Using photos as a base and paint as means to alter a photographic image, adds the element of chance to the picture. Once you apply paint to a photograph, there’s no going back. In this way, the work is somewhat directed by the medium. I like the way one plays with the other.”
