Untitled 2015 Ultramarine Painting

This piece is round 1000mm diameter, oil on canvas. Unframed, white edges, ready to hang. I see my work as being about the experience of seeing. It is about the viewer in that moment of time and their experience of seeing and what that means for them. For each person that is unique. It is very important to me that this work has emotional resonance. These paintings develop very slowly over several years. The initial layers form the foundation of this resonance, and then the painting evolves over the course of many, many layers, each of which informs or influences the next. There are often unexpected moments in the painting process that change the direction that the work takes and some details from earlier layers that are visible in the final work.
