‘People and figures have always been part of my work for as long as I can remember. The move into collage happened when I was teaching art. Before collage I was working in heavy impasto oil and I was in between studios at the time so the convenience of collage was also a factor, it was a lot less messy. Working with paper still has a similar feel to paint and I always try to use the knife in a similar way to a paintbrush. I cut shapes that feel like streaks of wet paint.’
