P A I N T I N G A S A MENTAL MAP

The imagery in my works stems from:Rocks | Moss | Water | Ice | Trees | Maps | Atmospheric Light | Mountains |
Internal Body Parts | Decay | Death | Influence of time
Processes of the mind: Memory | Forgetting | Anger | Depression |Defence Mechanisms | Autism
Dynamics of a Line | Line Form | Texture | Contrasts |Colour

I feel like an artistic mapmaker

When approaching art, postpone your persuasions…
Experience, feel its form
Encounter its knowledge
Listen
Add your experience

Art should give us good company
Illuminate a firm connection between our senses and our Worlds

Our eyes engage- enrich our passion

Art reaches beyond illustration
Each painting, photograph
Has its own life, a map
To be experienced, enjoyed
Revealing the world of others
Handing us stepping-stones

Each map slices out
Pieces of awareness
Sharing past fascinations,
To fascinate others
