These paintings are from a series of 25. They were made during an AA2A residency at City of Bath College. I'm not sure where they came from, but they took me by surprise. I had started on a series of large reliefs, however, one day in the college studio I found myself working on small squares of corrugated card - a humble and underrated material.

Marking Time - the title of this series of paintings - was in my head during the making of them. Only later did I look up the meaning. Maybe I shouldn't have!

Mark time
1. To move the feet alternately in the rhythm of a marching step without advancing.
2. To suspend progress for the time being; wait in readiness.
3. To function in an apathetic or ineffective manner.
