I entered along with over 2000 others for a place alongside 70 in the London show of the longest running drawing prize just daring to hope I might be accepted.
I was!
This is the drawing. 1x1.5m in graphite and charcoal called Longman.
I did have another one of a different section of the same hillside ....but I tore it up in anger. Was that wise I now ask myself?
Back painting again, this time a series called Disconnect, these are self portraits (in the sense of reflecting a state of mind). The series is an accumulation of knowledge, thought, memories and identity. I identify with the black form at present though my guess is that I may transfer..... only time will tell. Triangles are my hidden identity.
There are hints of landmass, tidal movement,standing water, space, height, air, lightness, colour, playfulness and naivety.
These are works in progress.
Looking at one of my first abstract paintings Galley Hill, there is a force pushing from the right onto the space the black form inhabits. Its edges cover and recede in the space between. Connecting and disconnecting.
