3 people 8 long days to clear my father-in-laws home. A kleptomaniac who didn't throw anything away for 50 years and collected mainly furniture, books and dust. Many nice things too. He's now in a lovely care home nearby.
If 8yd skips appear in my latest series of pictures that's proof I'm influenced by my surroundings…
'Graham's response to landscape is contemplative. Creation becomes a challenge as every mark is considered as the aesthetic process unravels towards sublime resolution. Graham's preoccupations are undoubtedly formal, but his technique relies on more than simply a conscious arrangement of shape and colour. Graham aims to intuitively distil the essence of his visual experience in a much more unlimited way. Landscape provides the ideal motif; unrestricted by figures or buildings, an exploration is permitted which ultimately pervades pure creation.' Sally-Ann Schilling.
