Following on from other recent posts, I am now considering the orientation of this larger work still in progress (125 x 127 cm, oil on aluminium):

Can a Painting have a Rhythm?
Reading Jason Gaiger’s paper, Can a Painting have a Rhythm? some time ago has given me an axis of thought around which to re-orientate my own ideas concerning the implications of the circular gesture and its development into the spiral – something I touched on during the MA: this being a link to the Second […]

Continuous with origin
I have been focused on concluding paintings and now also a number of works that have been suspended over a period of time. I am now able to approach these works and conclude them, showing the maintenance of connection with origin that is at the heart of pictopoiesis. These, as yet unconcluded paintings, each in […]
Correspondences
Curious to see the below video corresponding mitosis with colonialism. I think of the painting field as homeostatic and it would perhaps be interesting to put together an animation to illustrate it Colonialism as mitosis
A Significant Difference
There is a significant difference in quality between the digital files I habitually post (as in 2nd image below) and the high res files (immediatley below). The high re files allow for closer scrutiny of fine detail (enlargement in the header image) giving a better idea of the painting (123 x 125 cm) in real life, not possible using the lower […]

For me this is all the more the case for the contrast of approach this represents relative to my normal practice; the painting being a painstakingly slow, absorbing production, each large painting maybe taking several months.
