In late 2017 I returned to visual art after a period in which I concentrated primarily on sound.
The non-figurative works are a product of instinctive drives and intuitions. Certain shapes and formulations re-occur. I let them make their own space. There is a tension between imposed order and chaos. Some of these images are completed paintings, others transitional concepts – markers on a journey with no predetermined destination. Figures from myth and the unconscious sometimes make their presence felt.
I have included some life drawings here. Drawing from life is a discipline and stimulus that has been part of my life since my late teens. The human body is endlessly fascinating in its variations in shape, movement, weight and age.
