Painting

Da Vinci suggests we look for unique compisitions on stained walls. Paul Nash refers to, as yet, unseen landscapes.

My stained walls are the details of rusting ships and debris on the coast. Still life paintings that can mutate to images I have never seen but somehow recognise.

Manpulating a simple motif with roller, rag and knife allows the paint to roam and run until resoluton; the material leads, the painter follows.

Between the weeds of observation and the rocks of depiction are divine and devilish notions lying in wait. The spirit of our time emerges like a wreck at low tide.
