THE GLOAMING - AFTER THE SUN AND BEFORE THE DARKNESS.

Framed by blackened silhouettes of cloud and space, the sky a brilliant darkening blue. More blue than any piece of cloth or paint that I can recall. Utterly fleeting, gone in an instant, I bear witness to the colour of the impending night sky, the way it interacts and merges with itself and the fading light. 

Painting layer upon layer of translucent colour, working instinctively and experimentally, a single painting taking months to reveal itself - it’s deepness, vibrations, force and sensibility slowly becoming present.

Conversations around campfires, long summer evenings stretching onwards, cloudless winter strolls: thoughts caught in strata of translucent colour creating atmospheric suggestions of time and place.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Reserved layers of uninhibited colour. The tension between precision and accuracy, and the abstract. Layer upon layer of translucent colour reveal my physical and tactile processes. My art becomes your art, as you can see the ways in which I have engaged all of myself and my senses in its creation, inviting you to continue to experience this year on year as you live with these pieces, and your interaction and experience of them evolves as you do. Working instinctively and experimentally, a single piece can take months to find itself - it’s deepness, vibrations, force and sensibility slowing being revealed. I am moved by colour; but my work is far more than its spectral qualities. Asking you to project your own internal ideas in your engagement with my work, I aim to envelope the viewer in the periphery and the experiences of things that permeate us - without conscious attention having been paid to them.
