In the future I will continue to work on large canvases, but maybe not quite as large as 2m x 2m as this size is very inconvenient to transport. I will continue to work from the unconcious and attempt to tap into the primitive part of my brain. I will experiment with different colours to express different moods and with using varnish which i have been meaning to experiment with but haven’t yet tried. I would also like to try using graphite powder in my paintings. I will attempt to paint in the dark, following on from Cy Twombly’s experimentation and see what the outcome is for me. It is very difficult to predict the progression of my work when it is an intuitive practice but I can only hope that it will continue to improve, especially in terms of immediacy.
I intend to see more exhibitions in London which are relevant to my art practice. Unfortunately the artists I’m interested in are mostly exhibited in New york and other parts of America. The search for British artists with similar techniques and concerns continues. I would also love to visit some of the caves in France where prehistoric paintings are present. It would be amazing to get a first hand experience of what it’s like inside the belly of the earth viewing ancient works of art from our first homosapien ancestors. It blows your mind when you think of the 40,000 years between us and them. I’m told it is an experience one never forgets. I would be interested to see how my work developed after such an experience.
