Pink Dusk is a painting exploring the landscapes included in the making of nuclear weapons. Through a colour palette of magenta and quinacridone rose, the marks are automatic, responding continually between the found image the painting hangs upon and the exaggerated colours which appear in a sunrise

Swamp house is a fictitious landscape built up from found images through a moonlike screen. The tree is built up by borrowing a technique from Dutch renaissance landscape painting.
The painting is now in Clarence House, London, in the Prince of Wales' private collection.

Now in private collection
