Inevitably, as I’ve got older, my memory has got more complex, and the sense of recession

more insistent. I find that time, and the constraints of life, offer some sort of grid into which

I can throw my images; one memory often overlaid

by another.

I enjoy drawing architecture on large sheets of canvas because it provides plenty of structure that I can run off into dizzy perspective. I like to twist a grandiose scheme,

to look inside it and pull it apart.

The seasons produce another structural layer because I work as a gardener and live near exquisite countryside. The blanks in the canvas are the

blanks in my memory, easy to live with because my mind is clear; but in their sharp corners there is a little bit of

dread.”
