After my last exhibition, Looking for the Light, I cannot claim to have found it. But the quest keeps me on my toes and still in search of a positive outcome, which I hope will inform the paintings and offer those who see them a rewarding result.
In a way, I have been working on the same paintings, so to speak, eternally. Not as Sisyphus and the eternal stone; but there is always more 'light' to be sought.
The present body of work displays more transparency under thin glazes, with layers of translucent, glowing colours in motion across the surface of the canvas. The result aspires to a feeling of light, ephemeral, appearing from all sides, tangibly luminous.
I'm interested in the patterns of light as they play out on the texture of the paint's surface. Bearing no inherent moral or cautionary trope, the painting becomes, an artefact in itself, or like a piece of music, evoking an emotional response.
