This painting is part of continuing work that plays with the paradoxical practice of visualising the impossible which painting reveals. It dissolves the familiar narrative, the solidified metaphor, opening up other meanings and feelings. The Danaë series tackles the iniquitous narrative in which she is incarcerated in an impenetrable bronze chamber by her father but nevertheless is impregnated by Jupiter in the form of a shower of gold. Art of the past has relished the story and most, like Titian’s wonderful and languorous “Danaë” paintings, offer a passive female subject position. Alternatively I suggest that she has a more active role in the encounter.

I studied painting in the 1960s, gained my M.A. in 1995 and completed my M.Phil thesis in 2000. My work has been exhibited since early solo shows in 1970s. Some Solo shows have been titled as “Divertimenta” and “Elusion and Revision”. Most recent solo show was entitled False Doors and Timeless Thresholds. I reach wider viewers through the Axis website and online exhibitions. I live near Louth in Lincolnshire.
