Gravity No.9 Painting

Please note the actual piece is on paper approx 15cm sq. These are then mounted and then framed in the white box frame you see here. The black background was simply to help photograph the pieces. I have used the same additional photos for all of the Gravity series (no.5) so please dont panic that the main image doesn't match the extra 'in context' photos. These little abstract drawings are an exercise in restraint and simplicity. Inspired by Aldous Huxley's The Island '“It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly my darling...” I am trying to create light, drawings of movement and form. I would like the viewer to feel and emotional connection when viewing the collection and intuitively allow themselves to be attracted to some compositions over others.
