Something about me and what I am doing. The venue for the exhibition is booked with a ‘get in’ date 15th June 2010. I’m feeling comfortable about the amount of time I have to produce the work as I am able to focus all my studio time towards the show. My painting is developing out of an passion for observing and recording urban spaces, both the formal qualities and the experiential. I am trying to express this on the canvas with transparent layers of paint over initial drawings. Creating illusionistic space behind the picture plane is where I’m at. I am totally hooked on Italian paintings 1250c-1500c and love to visually hang out in the architectural spaces in the paintings in rooms 51-55, and 60 of the National Gallery, more on this another time. Tomorrow level 5 students will be giving presentations for our Professional Practice, and I shall publicly commit myself to blog this project!
