"I look at them as fragments, memories. Sometimes we don't remember things exactly how they were, but bits and pieces, feelings, warmth, the colour of life, the texture of life." Six works, each assembled from fragments, and one canvas from REACTOR. Shown at The PhotoGallery, Palma.
Fragments, memories, coming together in shapes. I look at them as fragments, memories. Sometimes we don't remember things exactly how they were, but bits and pieces, feelings, warmth, the colour of life, the texture of life.
Each board is one of those on its own. They tumble around in my head, separate, unresolved. Then I put them out on the table, mix them, bring one in, take one away, until fragmented memories start to make sense as they come together in shapes.
I don't set out to make things that are pretty. I find it interesting to work with problems: the pigments as they get absorbed into the acrylic, pockets of air under the sheet that leave holes you can then work with. The titles read the surfaces the way you would read the weather: colour and geometry, nothing else. Each work is signed on the front. All six are originals, one of one.
