Ships in a Crate
Port Talbot Steel Works. Ink and tempera on paper. Seen as an abstraction, the way I see it, perhaps the way many people see it You'd have to be a steel worker perhaps to see a steel works. to me it's a beautiful abstract collection of crevices, pipes and steam, a juxtaposition of shapes, or jumbles of shapes from which I seek chaos, or the interplay of shadows with colours. Here I'm recording the jumbled organisation, jumbled to me, yet essentially organised, of the drama of steel and steam in a coastal landscape. Industrial vs rural. Steelworks.

I studied Architecture at university, and based my thesis on minimalism. Both Architecture and Minimalism are disciplines that crosses across all facets of the arts and is something that has always inspired me. (Something to do with my upbringing, outdoors, rural living in Africa and England) And minimalism is what I am edging towards. In architecture the principle is ‘less is more’ as Mies van der Rohe famously said. In music it is about a sound that transcends mere melody, boiling down sounds into a sheer (not necessarily melodic) collection of sounds within seemingly unconnected chords. In art minimalism is about creating collection of colours and shapes into a definitely non-representative image. Think pictures absolutely without meaning. Abstract art is partly along the lines of this principle. However it is not the whole story. Abstract art can be too informative. Minimalism is completely non-representative. What does this mean? I don’t honestly know. Non truly minimalist artist does. Which is what is so compelling. to find minimalism I have explored every medium and gone through the ropes of representation. In order to strip images of representation one has to know what it is. to make such an image art is the ultimate journey for me. This is my mission. ‘less is more’ in architecture. And architecture, being my training is where I began. You can get a sense of my journey from some of the art here in my portfolio on Saatchiart . Not all of it was minimalist, as explained above, but now it is becoming more so. Forgive me if I fall back onto a few favourite themes, such as perspective. Part of the fun is removing the perspective from perspective. My quest is to reduce and find essential elements, particularly the play of light with shadow Probably the hardest part for me, is reducing my portfolio to it’s minimalism credentials. Consequently I’m the process of reducing it online whilst retaining a few salient images.
