Untitled 2016 Terre Verde Painting

This piece is 500mm round work in oil, earth pigments and genuine mica on canvas. In these three works I am exploring the nature of materials and the role they play in the nature of contemplation. I am interested in the resonance that authentic natural pigments being to a piece. There is a depth and quality inherent in the materials I am using that allow light to penetrate and then radiate from within the surface that helps to create the experience of seeing that I am seeking. 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. Gestural Abstraction is the form through which I explore a contemporary sublime, one that is illuminated by the subjective gaze of the viewer through the experience of seeing.
