Transient
2015 Mixed media, and embedded objects on cement on canvas. 40cm sq This is a passing, a transition from one state to the next. It is signified in material but concerns the ethereal and intangible. There is no legacy, only values lost forever.
One For Sorrow I
Mixed media on paper 30cm sq
Here and There
Mixed media and acrylic on canvas 40cm sq No rudder or compass, the vessel floats free. It is everywhere and nowhere. It is mythical sailing in stories of fantastic voyages of the imagination. It is full of empty dreams. We keep vigil as it crosses our horizon.
Contained Assertions
Mixed media and acrylic on canvas 40cm sq Truth is examined, honesty held up to scrutiny. Beauty, no longer safely in the eye of the beholder, is in peril. Added value fails to keep the balance sheet clean. The square is without compass.
Illusion of Inclusion
Mixed media and acrylic on canvas 40cm sq There are barriers some are subtle others plain. A net is more than a barrier, it catches and holds. The frayed edges soften the impact; maybe they are time worn, as if by tradition. The net sorts and separates, being caught in the net is being caught … Continue reading Illusion of Inclusion

Mixed media on canvas 20" sq A seashell and other objects are embedded into and onto the canvas. The shell although like an ear is as much sending as catching a message in the form of a cloud whisper. What might be a landscape or seascape is turned to form another plane or reality.

Golden Flux
The third image in a series of Enchanted Spaces. Two ideas collided here. I was seeing the image as a poetic visualisation of 'The Field of the Cloth of Gold', evocative and romantic words reaching beyond the Tudor history. These visualised perhaps as a banner above glinting armour with an earthy ground. The hearaldry of a … Continue reading Golden Flux

Infinity Quartet
“If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.” ― William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell “The unexplainable thing in nature that makes me feel the world is … Continue reading Infinity Quartet
In Progress
Before The Fall Cement, mixed media and collage on canvas 20" x 20" Genesis is an allegory. It describes the transition of the human race from a state of innocence…. They were initially unaware of their own mortality; they had little or no concept of right and wrong. After the transition they had a moral … Continue reading In Progress
