My work strives to communicate an energy... a relationship between the seen and the unseen, rather... the psychic landscape externalised. Working in the tradition of plein aire painting provides an environment for intense focus and urgency to capture some essential quality about a particular place... this place, through continued work becomes much less speceific and ideally more universal.
The process of making a painting or any work of art is, for me, to engage in a mysterious and unfolding process. The traditions of art making are a continuum... past present and future. Art is where it takes you. |
