Hard Granite Soft Rock (2011 – 2013)

When you set out on a journey you should have a vague idea where it may go. I’m now a fair way down the visually driven path, but the end is no closer or clearer. The more I try to settle it down,the complexities of daily life keep throwing up images that require some attempt at resolution. It is hard to maintain that less is more. I have revisited themes and places to see them through eyes that are not as clear as before. “Expressionism” prevails whether I like it or not. The bump and grind of the exotic dancer with lights, colour and action will be the way to go in the future. How well can I interpret a shimmering surface?
