not long been back from France…working in watercolour with narrative upon narrative upon narrative.
The garden we're building is coming to completion and the client coincidentally is a University French tutor. Buddhism is big in her daily life and I've designed a garden in sympathy with this calming set of beliefs. All on a budget so there have been compromises…she's happy.
'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.
