I paint in collaboration with two partners - Water and Gravity.
Using this technique, I explore the character and emotion behind the façade of my subjects, be they human or otherwise. These subjects sit in an energetic atmosphere comprising of light and shadow in space. For me, revealing the mood and underlying reality of the situation is key.
The element of complex variability that these partners introduce, allow my work to interweave my own intention with the results of the laws of physics.
I have had a life long career as an architect and am fascinated with the built fabric, proportion, scale and pattern.
The Golden Mean and the Fibonacci integer sequence, ratios that are very pleasing to the eye, are frequently used in my compositions, choice of canvas size and positioning of the subject. Patterns emerge in my work through the use of these rules.
The progression of my work is evolutionary, not radical. Each piece informs the next in technique and expression. The pieces are progressively becoming more allegorical.
Using the medium of paint feels as compulsive and empowering for me now as learning to read was as a child.
