For me observation is the spring board for expression. The physical world which we encounter in all our waking hours and re arrange in our sleep is the source of all experience, to describe this world creates a bridge between myself and my surroundings - a form of passive control. I like the challenge of life drawing/painting. The body is complex in its expression and the fact that we can read the subtlest attitude within a pose means that intensely accurate representation is crucial to its use as a vehicle of figurative expression. |
