One of several compositions with curls of paper in brief, precarious arrangements; in this case, a roll of paper, crumpled silver paper and strong black shadow. The roll of paper is balanced between two areas, one solid (or empty) the other faceted and dynamic. Rather like Godefroy’s Moment, there is a sort of frozen moment and relationship between the the three elements that suggested a spinning or drilling; the black area became a depth, the faceted almost like ejected debris. The centrally located “drill” form has a symmetry to it - a visual device to denote power - and combined with the strong chiaroscuro, it became a vanitas. With that, the title came Augur came to mind, which is a play on words - a drill and a portent. A meditation/vanitas on carbon, power and its danger.

I work in the still life painting tradition from brief, often precarious, arrangements of small, neutral or insignificant subject matter. I use observation, intuition, relationship, scale and metaphor to create a sense of clarity and space and give form to my sensibility. I regard form as concentrated space, process and phenomena and strive to create visual meditations that are layered, poetic and stop time. I draw on my interests outside art for inspiration - mainly music, yoga, meditation and Eastern thought, mainly Tao and Zen. I am particularly drawn to the increasing connections between Buddhist related thought and aspects of contemporary science, particularly physics and neuropsychology. I have also been very influenced by Iain McGilchrist's groundbreaking book "The Master and his Emissary", a Rosetta stone that connects and explains the two brain hemispheres, "the two cultures" and the philosophies of East and West. It reveals much of arts response to 20th/21st century Western society to be in fact, like its subject, Cartesian and dualistic. Please look at my blog for more written thoughts and observations.
