‘I am rather reluctant to write about my
paintings as I feel that it really is a dialogue
between the painting and the viewer- in other
words the painting should speak for itself. |
|
|
|
Here are some thoughts on my work. I endeavour
to create paintings which combine elements of
the visual world which excite and move me with a
continuing fascination with the mediums I use. |
|
|
|
I hope that the results stimulate and sometimes
disturb the viewers imagination and also achieve
an ordered elegance. I would like to think that
the viewer can return to the painting and find
new things in the work.’ |
