At the Gate Painting

I make marks on paper or canvas. I use the marks available to me as economically as possible, distilling the image/feeling/moment into what is necessary, so that through objective representation there is enough room for subjective interpretation. I may be motivated by colours, textures or simply the emotion offered up to my senses by the landscape. My approach to paintings or monoprints is minimalist. I apply the Eastern concept of Miksang to the work. Miksang is a Tibetan word meaning ‘good eye’. Miksang asks that we view our world in a new way. This new way of seeing is the ability to see the world without overlays of meaning and value, pleasure, dislike, or disinterest. Then the world is always new and fresh because everything we see is as if for the first time. There is no memory, no association, only the world manifesting to us, as it is, out of nowhere. The resulting paintings are suggestive of my relationship with the earth. I see a landscape with a ‘good eye’ and work to bare the bones, remove the details, and find the essence of place.
