A tree as grandad laughing brings together painting and works on paper in which form hovers between the familiar and the strange. Here are fluid buildings and towering plants; flower portals and smiling caterpillars; keyholes to inner worlds and hairy monk shrubs with magical powers. Filtered through a surreal process of learning and shaped by unreliable memory – an environment refusing to be organised.
