My artist statement:

My work explores the banal, repetitive experiences of my daily journey through London and its continuous peripheral changes. I record and track the details of these journeys through video images and map-paintings, adopting them as personal souvenirs.

My film ?time to go home (final hour)? presents a narrative of places designed only for waiting , each appearing for a few seconds, as the doors open and close like camera shutters. I have selected certain clips of empty bus stops, some sheltered, some signposted, emphasising the loneliness of such non-places. I try to bring out the sense of entrapment and alienation as the bus stops mechanically even when there are no passengers to get on or off. I also imagine the opening doors as an exit to freedom from feeling trapped on a bus journey after entering the wrong bus on the wrong route.

I use the London A-Z and bus journey maps as reference points and symbols of communication to paint in acrylic on canvas. I aim to create these maps as records of common experience, which appreciate the humorous and the poetic in an otherwise anonymous environment.
