ABOUT THE ARTIST
Sometimes, something quite ordinary and seemingly insignificant, can provide profound insights and is capable of stirring emotions in a way which is not always able to be described in words. Can less necessarily be more? We live in a visual world. How much do context and history affect our response to what we see? Can an image speak as loudly as text, or even more so?
These are just some of the concerns which my works attempt to address, through elements of the known and unknown, clarity and vagueness, light and dark and spatial ambiguities.
My paintings are for contemplation. A very simple everyday object
can perhaps reveal something new, while itself being revealed. It is hoped that when the veil is lifted, there is still more to discover…..an invitation to go beyond the surface of the picture.
The formal elements of a painting or drawing are a primary concern. I place great importance on edges, in my work. Some are crisp, others blurred. Is this how we see things when we move from image to background (context). We simply can’t see things in isolation. Just as our eyes are constantly scanning, it is hoped that the viewer’s eyes will move not only around the surface of the work, but will also move in and out of the imaginary space behind the picture plane.
