Acrylic on canvas, 2013. This little painting was pivotal in the developing experiment engaged at this time. Something certainly did ‘happen’ which was greater than anything I could consciously muster: the tension between dark and light, the interplay of foreground, background, muted and vibrant colours. In other words – I didn’t get to this by thinking (and that made it all the more interesting). I’d never painted anything like this before (and likely never will). Over time one of the (self-imposed) challenges has been to get close to this at a larger scale.
