“...a particular moment that will never recur. Pin experience down before it disappears.” - Frank Auerbach
My work aims to explore a means to express an experience; a sensation from a moment or memory. Life is unstable. The mind is unstable. They are in a constant state of change. Fact and fabrication. Fabrication and fact.
Drawing is essential because it is at this stage where imagery used is transformed by filtering only the information that is deemed relevant. Where an icon or mannerism may be perceived in one way, the artwork could mould its meaning into another form. This process is also changing continuously. Developing and dissolving.
When in the studio the work is in a state of uncontrollable spontaneity. Paint and other medium is brushed on, rubbed off, scraped and dragged across the surface. What is left is an unusual relationship between this moment’s truth and its preceding and succeeding implications.
Interpretation is continually shifting. My goal is to record this constant flux in the present. This moment’s perception will be altered by time. Elaborating and eroding.
