Out the Window, 2020
The affect of layering colour can often be startling. Something about it saturates the pores. it’s the connective feeling I get that belies explanation, yet compels me to explore.
'Out the Window' is a consideration of layers of light and colour and the varying perceptions we are capable of. Just how a window can frame a view, the way I perceive is dependent on where I stand, what I feel and what I believe. Changeable and impermanent. Seeing things through a window seems to frame slices of simultaneous time.
These paintings are portals into a space where layers of colour come in and out of perceptibility. In this latest series of paintings I have removed everything except the the initial feeling that conjured the action to paint in the first place. The fields of colour are like removing the veils, leaving only the essential emotional tone.
