ABOUT THE ARTWORK

My original sketch was inspired by a photograph of Poppyseed Dancer doing her ballet thing. Then I was looking at a book about the work of William Blake. I've always admired his print Urizen (Act of Creation). In it, a robed man uses a sextant to design the universe. Although Blake is really a Romantic or Spiritualist, who resisted Industrialisation and the the call of "Progress", his work cannot help be imprinted with the ideology of the age - the Enlightenment. Hence, the Universe is created by a man (Urizen), using precise measurement as befits an act of pure reason. But wait, doesn't creation need a woman to be sustainable? Blake did have a woman in his story, and her name is Ahania. I have chosen depict to Ahania as active, physical, opening herself confidently to the world. This work created for Beltane 2020, and the Flower Moon.

I use creativity to explore my identity, to interpret and meditate on mind, body, nature, the world. I paint and draw and write and sometimes combine all three in digital mediums. Some of my recent work reflects the social and political reality. I've been drawing from life in pastels, pencils and charcoal since my teens. I've been painting since 2007, and have been involved in artists groups in Manchester, Zimbabwe and Brighton. I'm a Dad and I live in Brighton. My parents were both artists.
