ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I like to work at the point where the material world becomes abstract, and what is abstract becomes concrete. Here form is less important than colour. Colour is energy forming and reforming itself constantly. Form represents a world of boundaries where everything is fixed . I want to escape the boundaries of this realised world and explore a world of possibility. This is where consciousness becomes matter. There are endless possibilities here with no need to enforce anything. All is potential and how much more enjoyable it is to work with potential rather than function within strict boundaries. Having flexible boundaries is not the same thing as having no boundaries. If there were no boundaries, there would be nothing to paint. Colour is energy. Stand back from a painting. Forget everything. Relish the sensations brought to you by your eyes. Use this as a key that unlocks other worlds. A painting or a part of a painting is a signpost pointing to other, fuller worlds. It is a tool for transcendence to subtler, more fluid levels of creation. A painting is successful if it has internal coherence and external integrity. If you have to ask: 'what is it doing?' Or 'what does it mean?', the painting has failed. Functionality is not relevant and neither is meaning. A painting stands for nothing but itself and has no function. If a painting decorates a wall, that is incidental. Decoration implies an aesthetic with all the associations that go with it. These are a paintings' terms of reference.
