Propose

I propose and suppose that if anyone reading this or coming across this site is more interested in the work, that an email, phone and or video call is probably a good idea, when this series started it was only a phone call or a letter allowing direct communication and inquiry. I am open to a chat and further dialogue.

Piecing together

I have had some difficulty piecing together a resume of my artistic and life activity, spanning painting, an extensive land management portfolio, social activism, exhibitions, teaching and just being human. I put the work forward and can trace the personal associative memories, history and stories back from the imagery.

Series: The Architect of Impossible Physics

Trinidad – 29 September 2023

“ the architect of impossible physics ’’ 

For the last two months, emails between myself and a trusted wordsmith, my attempts to create an introduction, a text to this work, resulted in thousands of words later, I tried to justify the effort because of the three decade time frame and the apparent complexities of the imagery. I scrapped the idea and now prefer this lighter and shorter version to open the site.

“We’re illusion makers. That’s the magic of art. It’s not art therapy. I’m creating confusion for its own sake…You could lose your sense of sound, it wouldn’t be such a bad thing, silence might be good. I’m aware that a drawing can SHOUT at you, can alter someone’s perception.”
