My work deals with a developing study of movement. This process
involves observing and gleaning images from a very broad range of stimuli, for
example, inanimate and animate objects, human and animal subjects, landscapes,
tangible and intangible energies. Using a symbolised visual vocabulary I am
trying to describe a relationship between all these component parts and how
they interact within a self created environment. I use subdued matte colours
to signify pure space, and working with a vivid palette, I define certain entities
moving within this finite space. What I am trying to achieve is a peculiar and
personal view of an environment, a view that is perceived from many viewpoints
simultaneously. This environment is populated by various types of entity, things
that are solid and fluid, tangible and intangible. Solid bodies are described
using solid marks or shapes, the moving energy around them is described using
gestural, textural marks as are the illusions of light and the passage of linear
time.
My
most recent work, created digitally, has a consistant theme of entrances, doors
and walls, flat interfaces that have no apparent perspective. These images are
directly influenced by the works of Antonio Tapies, and are all developed from
personal photographs. |
