This group of paintings from 1986-1998 presents an overview of recurring themes. Throughout this period I created work based on industrial landscapes, urban decay and the male figure. I assembled, collaged and reconfigured images from the environment to create ambiguous narratives that represent a world of urban and human frailty. This frailty is the central meaning of this work.
