Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork
My work is concerned with two interrelated themes: the circularity of energy and the memory of gesture over time which I explore using expressive and calligraphic mark-making. These ideas have preoccupied me for decades and were further developed from my years living in Asia. I paint a great many small studies, often as an initial idea, a test to develop further. Two are circular and two more calligraphic, memories of movement experienced and drawn last summer. These small paintings are both dynamic and contemplative, using a variety of media including acrylics, gesso and ink to produce pieces that reveal themselves slowly over time.
You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works. In doing so, you endanger our relationships with artists, and directly jeopardise the charitable work we do.
