I have not made a pure abstract painting for some time, this painting is the first of many I hope. I'm calling this the Energy Series but it is much more than that as I find the process difficult, thoughts, ideas and feelings come up as I become 'present' to the painting. I go back and forth in time as I am triggered to remember past incidences of colour, shape and gesture...even flavour. I put the paint on the canvas with a Victorian steel kitchen knife, in this way I cab scrape, drag even scratch away at the paintings surface. I don't want the painting to look decorative so I try to use the knife to wipe away anything that may resemble that, never the less my colour palette is I hope is striking and criss crossed with the blade to resemble something fresh and spontaneous.
