100 yards from home No.19

My art practice is based on a phenomenological regard of what a place, a situation or a memory feels like, not what it looks like, some are my memories some borrowed from other people, previous inhabitants of the space, they are never finished until they are passed onto a new owner as the story is ever unfolding. My purpose as an artists seems to be that of mark maker, a recorder of memories, a translator of events and emotions a teller of the story that is life. Not the big picture, but little snippets of no particular interest, except to those that experienced the moment.

100 yards from home No.6

It is the complex feelings which happen in a single moment which fascinate me, and I attempt to capture within the work.

‘By Cy Twombly’s estimation a drawing presents a morass of possible sensations and emotions, all in the present, all just happening, ‘from a soft thing, a dreamy thing, to something hard, something arid, something lonely, something ending, something beginning. The painters experience can change repeatedly as the picture is created. Twombly remarks: ‘it’s more like I’m having an experience than making a picture.’ (Serota: 14)

Marks on Paper study

My work is created from an Animistic viewpoint, a celebration, of the essence that is life, Earth-Water-Fire- Air- Void. A creative reaction to all that
is, both the observed or physical world and the unseen or Spirit world. Also those moments where the spirit world shows itself and becomes seen and the physical world merely exists as a symbolic gesture. There is no sharp distinction between the two realities; what happens in one affects the other.

Waiting at The Crossroads & Learning to Fly

Sometimes within the work basic framework forms appear, these forms represent life -past-present-future, they represent man, consciousness, thought, emotion, the senses. Mainly the figure like form is a symbolic representation of the ‘I am’ that is mankind. They are eager to be seen and have their story to be told, even if that story is just a scratch on the board.
