Dreaming in Peach #1

newsDreaming in Colour - 2022The Dreaming in Colour series is an evolution of my work in abstraction, using an expressive movement of thin washes, whilst exploring the placement and impact of colour on the senses.
The paintings seem so simple I am often challenged to leave them as such. That being said, when I come to paint I place the critical mind to the side to allow a sense of intuition and openness to come forward in my awareness. I let my hand and eye be drawn to whatever colour is 'beeping' me at the time, loading the brush and allowing the sweeping marks to form on the paper. It is then a matter of a 'zen like' repeating of this process until the a moment arrives when a felt sense says, "Stop". I put down the paint brush and review the painting. Sometimes the brush is picked up to make slight corrections of colour, but in general the piece is finished in an open and relaxed moment in time. The length of which I am not aware because I am so lost in the dreaming of colour. More from this new series can be viewed here and is available online through Bluethumb Art Gallery. |

mbpWhen I come to create I often fall into a quiet contemplation and meditative space, and in that, my mind will often simply surrender to the deeper presence of silence, stillness and spaciousness.
It is here that I wait for the intention, the vision, or the inference of the ‘next step’ of my art practice. Over the last few years I have learned the value of slow, quiet and simple; and how these can inform and enrich my work. |
