John Bunker said "It's interesting to see how areas of discrete colour that encapsulated the push/pull dynamics of earlier work have been gradually atomised and subsumed or even submerged."

Tony Smart said "Could it be, that given the already extended form, the “intractable” heavy pieces tip the sculpture towards the pictorial?"

Emyr Williams said "I was struck not only by the use of the material which is so inventive and open but the statement about the space and material. I identify with that completely and see a strong accord for painting.

Anne Smart said "“All-over” painting is a very crude and cruel attempt to describe an ambition. I do not know what “All over” means but I am trying to work to what non-relational means …."

Anne Smart said "Negating the potential role of the corners is not only a hazard for the “all over” painting…. I think! The potential for those is massively overlooked in many abstract paintings…"

Noela James Bewry said "I certainly feel Insignia of Lockdown has a frantic, cacophonous and discordant atmosphere to it, multi layered and complex, and powerfully discomforting."

Alex Harley said "So rich!! These are extraordinary paintings -the depth and complexity is astonishing! There is an overall-ness which reveals itself slowly, parts come in and out of focus."

Alex Harley said "With 'Og-Telebot' the torn paper adds a different geometry to the drawn lines, a rigidity to the structure of the canvas with the edges. It is a very interesting parallel."
