When routine bites hard...

The opening line of Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart.

This series is called Routine, and the images are taken from the Joy Division film clip. The first few seconds of the film have deteriorated, so the tones are khaki and rust. I found the colours very moving.

I'm drawn to images of stairs; their pulse, rhythm. The comfort of routine.

These four small paintings are currently on show at 40 x 40 2016, Brunswick Street Gallery, 11 December 2016 - 21 January 2017. They will also form part of my solo show there in October 2017.
