Imminent Exhibition 5th August 2009 MARS
Series to be Exhibited AFTER DARK and RIM
These 2 series evolved over 2 years.
It is an exploration of our experience of phenomena .
The forces, energy,and processes which dramatically and subtly
form & reform the natural world
There is an inevitable emotional component in response to these forces, and the contradictions inherent therein a result of an attempt to allow this process to take its own form through the manipulation of the materials .
The result is similar to writing down a dream .......
a story, direct from the unconscious of which we are the source, but unwittingly.
A direct line to “truth”, it is always a surprise because it bypasses the will and leaves us in awe of this unconscious knowledge.
The images are still mysterious, and at the same time inevitable
The use of condensed charcoals with those dense velvety blacks which can suggest the empty fullness of infinity, and Hahnemuhle paper because of its resilience, one can work right into the fabric of it to suggest a sudden shift to light, and a million shades of tone in between .
Not trying to depict nature but to document a particular experience of it.
