Untitled Brass Tray 2 Painting

This image reflects my concern with animals and the environment. The circular format has featured often in my work for several years. It suggests to me a fleeting moment, something dreamlike and impermanent. I hope the viewer will have a double response to these images…first that they will enjoy the decorative nature of the images, and second, that they will recognise a more serious layer underlying its beauty. The upside down or floating animal image that often occurs in my work suggests our inconsistent emotional relationship to animals. The decorative nature of much of my work reflects my interest in a paradox – human history, littered with objects of great beauty, valued and manufactured with great skill by the same species who, on the other hand, are capable of acts of destruction and great cruelty. The brass tray which provides the support for this painting is an object that is likely to be familiar to many viewers; in the past, these were often found in public drinking houses and private homes. When we look back at ourselves in past times, perhaps we see ourselves more clearly than we do in the present.
