Abstract paintings based on dynamics of colour, shape and form. Impulsive mark making with an intuitive feel for exciting outcomes. Strong focus on collage, as well as canvas and paper.

Ayles deconstructs environments, reconstructing the apparent chaos of organic and geometric shapes into a new world of imagination and memory, at once figurative and abstract.
