There was enough sunshine yesterday to allow me to take photographs of the new work ‘Cara Mia’.
I’m particularly happy with this one; it isn’t the work I have been referring to recently, although I’m just as excited about it.
It is an extension of my 3D paintings, and as such is an exploration into the nature of painting, among other things. It is inevitable that people will draw parallels between this and Michael Craig-Martin’s ‘An Oak Tree’. They will be mistaken, though. Apart from the obvious glass-and-water, there is no connection. It is just that they have certain media in common. It has made me aware how readily people will take on such assumptions, not just in art, but in general.
