Reflecting Space and Time
"It's the incompleteness of artworks that I find fascinating. Like ancient detached frescoes, where bits are gone imagined or never were.
"Painting is about the beauty of space and the power of containment" Sam Francis.
TIMELINE Acrylic on canvas 100 x 100 cm
Through intent or not the space becomes the essence, with detailed parts that drift off into nothingness." KR
LINES OF THOUGHT Acrylic on canvas 100 x 150 cm
"I often purposely paint over a finished artwork to make it incomplete,
to create a space - for what is lost - and then the fragments that remain tell the story."
Abstract and diverse artworks are inspired by MA, the Japanese philosophy that emphasises the importance of empty space, not as a void but as a meaningful presence that enhances the elements around it.
THE CLEARING
BUBBLING THOUGHTS
As with thoughts, lines cross, and make shapes - places to dwell.
Like a pot formed from clay to create the space inside that becomes the essence. Artworks are unfinished or distressed to create the perfect imperfect.
