Metaphysical landscapes;
Tim's new work sees him taking a more experimental approach in his painting, using a mixture of media and surfaces, water colours, oils and house hold paints, plaster surfaces, wood and canvas. 
The images Tim creates have a strong drawn element, 
As Tim explains;
"I start with drawing, usually a series of random lines that overlap and intersect one another and from this mass of lines I might perceive a landscape or architecture a sea or a sky."
Tim then begins to lay down washes and blocks of colour, considering the colours carefully in order to convey a mood or an atmosphere, a time of day or a season.
From these improvised lines and ambiguous spaces, an imagined landscape emerges.Tim will often then divide these spaces in a series of smaller scenes. This collection of scenes has the effect of giving the piece a narrative quality. 
"I sometimes  imagine these paintings are almost like a diary,they contain feelings from the present and the past. And convey a sense of time. 
The paintings change a lot from when I begin them,
I often use sandpaper to scratch away the surface to expose previous layers, revealing it's history. I also like to leave unfinished or ambiguous areas where something that is yet form, a hint of a possible future."
 

This piece evolved from a series of water colour studies, which I then edited to form a collection of small sections.
I then arranged these sky fragments to create a unified image. I like the idea of making a record of a passing day, month or year using images of the sky.
 

The People's Painting was devised as an interactive art experiment involving hundreds of people and took place over the course of three days at an art event in York. 
Members of the public were asked to select a colour and make a mark, this collection of varied marks would go on to produce two large abstract paintings. The results of this experiment were both startling and fascinating.
