I work in oil, from a studio in Woodstock. I find Cape Town an energising and inspiring place to work, but I am equally influenced by the routine of the studio and the stuff that accumulates in it — photographs I've taken, pages taken from books of other artists' work, images from wildlife magazines, screenshots from films and things found on the internet. I also find inspiration from my friends and I'm part of Joe Prussian, described by Ashraf Jamal as 'a collective in the most delinquent sense – there is no agreed upon premise, no equivalences in feeling or idea'.
