My work is an extension of a spiritual pursuit for meaning, entertainment and existence. An interest in psychology and Zen Buddhism from a young age lead me to the conclusion that the physical and spoken world is not all there is, the full extent of reality is beyond our comprehension and the meaning of life is (probably) simply to exist. Nature, also known as God or life, is an indifferent energetic force, fact or law. My paintings arise from an interest in serving and channelling this force through a meta-conceptual process-based method.
I am instructed by my intuition in every aspect of the creative process: governing values, imagery, technique, practical procedure and conscious idea choices. Intuition and beauty are driving and stopping motions respectively, as they are mystical. Other related values include patience, technical and aesthetic power, individuality, irrationality and play. Interests include the zeitgeist, emotions, delusion, the imagination, human nature, archetypes, time, and visual poetry.
Painting is an ineffable medium. A sensory experience that exists in the abstract world of the visual. I see language as a potential hindrance to it, judgement as powerful and subjective interpretations as interesting. My current series could be seen as a presentation of an alternate universe I have a strong connection to.
