New work
14th March – 21st April, 2019
“This exhibition consists of a series of paintings and drawings I have created over the last six months. Working in landscape I have repeatedly returned to the same viewpoints to experience change through the cycle of the seasons. Painting and drawing are means by which I can reach a point of comprehension of what I am seeing and in doing so I in effect isolate the personal truth of the subject. I love the process of this. In the act of observation I find that one must hold one’s gaze, and in turn their focus, softly, to locate a ‘truth’. If held too tightly or without enough attention the essence will stay obscured. It’s this balancing act that I so revel in. I feel a joy when on occasion I am able to give myself up, as it were, to this process, to see with a clarity that is not distorted by restlessness or ego. I think above all I want my work to value a curiosity and an attempt to truly ‘listen’.”
