Artists Intention
I sit on the border. I don’t decide. I explore the way subject matter can be almost but not quite be representational, symbolic or abstract. The way subject matter is identified, or not, fascinates me. It is different for each viewer and could be rated somewhere along a representation – abstraction index.
Sometimes my pieces could be representations, symbols or abstractions. Landscapes are often local and named but in some cases barely represent place. Figurative works are impersonal. At other times forms emerge as a pencil creates the line on the preliminary sketch. Works bear essences of metamorphosis of the figurative calligraphic, symbolic, abstract and chance. Objects float in space, hanging there for the viewer’s decisions. It’s almost there but not quite!
