Artist Statement
I am interested in
light and its effect on colour - shadows, streams of light across
grass or on objects, or light through trees, or through a window.
All this brightening up our domestic and natural world. Nature
enhancing our
man-made world of severe block shapes, straight poles and regular
lines by casting abstract shapes and altering and diversifying
colour into many shades and hues - like some naughty school kid
throwing paint around, messing everything up.
We try to control
nature with paths and nicely cut bushes and flower beds and managed
areas of grass, but nature again reclaims the right to soften
that harshness, adding long irregular patches of dirty grey or
crisp lime green, or yellow green, an area of dappled dark purplely
blue on an orange brown roof, or a sprinkle of bright yellow
on a generally green small clump of foliage, all breaking up
our contrived order.
