"One day, as I was driving through the valley we live in, absent-mindedly looking at the tunnel of camphor laurel trees that line the road, this phrase came to me: The Colour Of Dreams, The Shape Of Memory. I immediately wanted to make a painting with that title.
 

It seemed to encapsulate my approach to making pictures pretty well.

As much as these paintings are about looking back, they feel like a step forward in my painting practice. There’s a liminality to them that feels different to me. Like something caught between a dream and a memory."
