About the work

With compositions inspired by places so mundane they are often ignored it is from this little acknowledged starting point that a formal enquiry into paint and painting begins. Value is then placed, via the material of paint, on these small things because it is from here that David Graeber said we can ‘understand the moral grounds of economic life and, by extension, human life.’
