A series of paintings with a strong call and response
element. This series included an approach similar to musicians jamming –
playing off the notes of each other, or improv dance - with each point of
physical contact providing the starting point for the next movement. The
paintings are based on my response to a mark made in wax as an expression of
energy, a story unfolding as I build up layers of wax. Continually inspired by
the natural world, images present themselves while I paint. I respond with a
push and pull to completion, gesture and mark making representing a flow or
force.
