New Paintings

The paintings in this exhibition act together in a play on our notions of 'inside' and 'outside'.

From a conception of the surface as a window pane, or membrane between inner and outer worlds, interior and exterior space, imagination and reality, suggestions of light and water, and refracted light on water combine with the elements to produce a meditation on our living space and our boundaries.

The motif of the circle arises naturally from this conception, closing one space within another - the magic circle, the social circle, the family circle, the sun, the moon, the planets, the sacred dance, the cycle of nature.

Colour deeply felt, sets up a vibration which pushes and pulls, advancing and receding, dynamising the surrounding architectural space; or like a harbour, opens up to welcome the viewer into a world of light, a pool of energy.
