I connect deeply with places, the more remote, the more ‘bleak’, the more primal,
the greater the emotional connection. I ‘feel’ places, spaces and sounds, examining
the emotional response, trying to dismiss the ‘surface’, drilling down to the raw and
primal emotion. I am now exploring personal emotional responses to colours,
concepts and ideas – slightly more elusive goals.
For me, all representations that include ‘light and shade’ tonality invoke space, a place,
and illicit a response accordingly whereas; representations that utilise ‘flat’ colour illicit a
response through the modulation between the colours or the degree of contrasting
complexity. I am also conscious of ‘scale’ and often aim to leave out any reference to scale,
inviting ambiguity in the viewer and drawing a more individual personal response.
This style of painting often utilises a process that explores random expressive mark making
on a blank canvass, inviting interpretation, generating creative judgements and iteratively
manipulating, expressing responses until the ‘dance’ is done.
I have no formal art training or qualifications and feel unencumbered and free from over
intellectualised twaddle around the subject, preferring just to ‘play’, learn through play,
explore and develop – I have more than enough over-intellectualised architectural twaddle
to compensate!
