A
sense of history, an infinity of layers, ambiguity and a need to search
feed my work. Through the paintings I am investigating the idea of
the past, present and future and their interconnection and reliance
upon each other.
The paintings are of no one image, but an amalgamation of many, derived
from various sources. Eccentricities in images and forms have always
concerned me and informed my work, but it seems that more and more
the physical quality and associations of the paint alone are allowing
me to express my intentions. A sense of voyeurism is present. Moments,
incidents in paint, which seem fleeting and transitory are held still.
I am imposing a new criteria on something which seemed mutable and
metaphoric - a frozen moment into which the viewer is enticed |
