"Skein", 2015, acrylic on wood, 30 x 50 cm. A length of string, a flight of geese, a shred of cloud drawn across the moon -- the word "skein" means many things, always suggesting something stretched and suspended in vast space.

"Sargasso", 2013/2015, acrylic on wood, 24 x 18 inches (60 x 45 cm).

Some landscapes, both internal and external, are anything but neat. Here, ambiguous creatures swim and swirl in a cloud of vivid and half-glimpsed life, a reflection of the cluttered sea that is every human mind.

Ravell'd, acrylic on canvas. The title is from Shakespeare's Macbeth, in which Macbeth bemoans the fact that sleep, which "knits up the ravell'd sleeve of care" is to be denied him, due to his guilt. This could be a parable for any politician whose ambition overcomes his moral sense, and the weave of his life becomes a web in which he is trapped.
