| I began painting three years
ago after twenty years experience in the field of Film and Video. My painting is an exploration of the often overlooked qualities of objects: the play of light on a casual grouping; a chance relationship, a juxtaposition of textures or colors or shapes that combine with the manipulation of paint to express something striking... something deeper than their casual presence would at first suggest. I have lately been exploring an old film making concept; building meaning from the relationships of disparate elements (a kind of 'third meaning' narrative). In this recapitulation of our experience of creation, the viewer is given a chance to understand their world in a way that is beyond the conceptual, the unfelt or second-hand - It is this quality of unhurried observation that painting offers. |
