"My practice has consistently been engaged with opening up new possibilities for realism in painting. I have employed many strategies that argue around the theoretical ‘problems' of realism in painting. I enjoy exploiting the limited short-comings of the dull, officially sanctioned dialogue between painting and it's would-be executioner, photography, in order to develop new potential for realism. While my work evolves and varies across time, it characteristically involves an examination of our schismatic relationship to the natural environment." (The Artist)
