ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Dreamer embodies a personal dialogue between process and the finished work. Layers are built up over time, each bonding with the last to create breaks and fissures in the surface, undoing and re doing, unmaking, making. The work has an uneven and jagged edge, a broken off edge in front of the flat sides inviting the viewer to look over and around the surface.

Delivery Time:

I build up my paintings slowly over time, layer by layer. Using my long-established process, I apply a coat of oil paint then scrape passages away to create an interplay of dappled colours and then continue adding more paint mixed with resin building up an image. My ideas are to create an image based on chance. Physically, I use painting tools which limit my control of the medium. By using scrappers and household brushes, a random selection of marks emerge, including broad patches of colour. I then use a squeegee and wipe is across the image with a diluted oil mix. It creates distinctive variety of marks and broad patches of colour. I don’t have a specific picture in mind when I start. I like the fact that it is not planned. The method of random choice and chance, its build-up and destruction produces an abstract image but never a pre-determined one. The process takes a long time and many different images appear on the canvas and it is only at the end, when the final image crystallises, that I am satisfied with the painting.
